Angel falls in the water
Wets his wings
He can't fly for a while
It's one of those things
He spends a down time singing

So there's salt in the water
A bitter taste
Just one chance in a lifetime
But you waste it
You waste it
You spend too much thinking
Like they do

When there's so much out there
You can't imagine it
It's such a drag
But it's so much better than me
Trays up
Wheels up
Coming in
Come and sing now

Well something caught in the engine
so down i go
sunlight on the head of my hero

But there's so much out there
You can't imagine it
Such a drag
But its so much better than me
Same problems 
The same old pain
Got Tom Waits crooning
And he's so much better than me
Trays up, 
Wheels up
Coming in
Come and sing tom
and come again
in your hip black jeans 
and your portable phone 
you wanna tell me about america 
well what do you know
a cool clear moment that image come down
you're gonna laugh at me later i'll laugh at you now

In the middle of the night
I'm wide awake
I'm covering it
I'm covering it
