I need a sign to let me know you’re here  
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere  
I need to know that things are gonna look up  
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup  
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head  
When you can feel the world shake from the words that I said

And I’m calling all angels  
And I’m calling all you angels

Oh, I believe there are angels among us,  
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.  
They come to you and me in our darkest hours,  
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give,  
To guide us with the light of love.

Angels Among Us – _Alabama_

I didn’t think that  
I could take it  
But your love helped me to make it  
Coming out of the dark  
I see the light now  
See the light now

Well

Bright lights big city goin to my head  
Bright lights big city goin to my head

And maybe, maybe, maybe  
You’ll find something that’s enough to keep you  
But if the bright lights don’t receive you  
You should turn yourself around and come on home

Where are you going my little one, little one?  
Where are you going, my baby, my own?  
Turn around, and you’re two; turn around, and you’re four;  
Turn around, and you’re a young girl going out of the door.

I love you too much to ever start liking you  
So lets just let the story kinda end  
I love you too much to ever start liking you  
So don’t expect me to be your friend.

Now I’m in your room, and I’m in your bed  
And I’m in your life, and I’m in your head  
Like the CIA or the FBI  
You’ll never get close  
Never take me alive

I’m the invisible man, I’m the invisible man  
Incredible how you can  
See right through me  
I’m the invisible man, I’m the invisible man  
It’s criminal how I can  
See right through you

I’m looking through you

I will always love the time that we shared  
But until we fall apart, I don’t wanna stay  
I can only hope that you find your way  
But now I just can’t go on  
It’s always the same

She (What did we do that was wrong)  
Is having (We didn’t know it was wrong)  
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can’t buy)

Something inside that was always denied for so many years  
She’s leaving home, bye, bye.

That’s when a sport was a sport  
And groovin’ was groovin’  
And dancin’ meant everything  
We were young and we were improvin’  
Laughin’, laughin’ with our friends  
Holdin’ hands meant somethin’, baby  
Outside the club “Cherry Bomb”  
Our hearts were really thumpin’  
Say yeah yeah yeah  
Say yeah yeah yeah
