Laurie Anderson
Strange Angels (live)
[Verse 1]
They say that heaven is like TV
A perfect little world
That doesn't really need you
And everything there is made of light
And the days keep going by
[Bridge]
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
[Verse 2]
Well it was one of those days
Larger than life
When your friends came to dinner
And they stayed the night
And then they cleaned out the refrigerator
They ate everything in sight
And then they stayed up in the living room
And they cried all night
[Chorus]
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Old stories
They're haunting me
This is nothing
Like I thought it would be
[Verse 3 – spoken]
Well I was out in my four door
With the top down
And I looked up and there they were
Millions of tiny teardrops just sort of hanging there
And I didn't know whether to laugh or cry
And I said to myself
What next big sky?
[Chorus]
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Their spare change
Falls on top of me
Rain falling
Falling all over me
All over me
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Old stories
They're haunting me
Big changes are coming
Here they come
Here they come
[Verse 4]
They say that heaven is like TV
A perfect little world
That doesn't really need you
And everything there is made of light
And the days keep going by
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
[Chorus]
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Their spare change
Falls on top of me
Rain falling
Falling all over me
All over me
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Old stories
They're haunting me
Big changes are coming
Here they come
Strange angels
Singing just for me
Old stories
They're haunting me
Big changes are coming
Here they come
Here they come
