Give me the wings of an angel that I might fly
Give me the fate of a devil that I'll never die
Give me love that lasts forever, baby, don't ask me why
Angels lose their wings in a vanishing sky
Give me the love of a goddess to soothe my mind
Give me the kiss of a princess with eyes that dance and shine
For you know that Cupid's arrow, when it's shot into the dark
Loses its moments and never penetrates the heart
Where is my wife's head with wings on each side
To carry me off to my fortress in the sky
Well, I've read the Holy Bible and it makes me wonder why
Angels lose their wings in a vanishing sky
Well, I married a young girl in a gown of white
And she promised to love me and always treat me right
But she cheated and she tortured me until I thought I'd die
Cause angels turn to demons in a vanishing sky
Give me the wings of an angel that I might fly
Give me the wings of an angel that I might fly
Give me the fate of a devil that I'll never die
Give me love that lasts forever, baby, don't ask me why
Angels lose their wings in a vanishing sky
Where is my wife's head with wings on each side
To carry me off to my fortress in the sky
Well, I've read the Holy Bible and it makes me wonder why
Angels lose their wings in a vanishing sky
In a vanishing sky
