Just a small request from a human to a god Let me ask a favor that might seem a little odd, I'm at a loss I need to cross the ocean wide and I need to do it soon, Like tomorrow afternoon if that's okay, Loan me some wings for a day They don't need to be Angel's wings, I'm sure they're in demand Something better than a chicken or a penguin would be grand. It just can't wait She's set the date to marry him and it really should be me, Which explains the urgency, I can't delay Loan me some wings for a day. I promise I won't use them for a daredevil career, I won't buzz the white house, or race seagulls at the pier I won't get caught Doing naughty things with pigeons Or cropdusting in Des Moines I won't run off to join, cirque de soleil Loan me some wings for a day BRIDGE I wouldn't ask this of anybody else, I'm sure you sympathize Cause you're the one who made those lips, and put the sparkle in her eyes, It's not your fault I said the things I said I don't blame you, for making me a fool But with these wings, I'll fly straight to her side This time I'll follow through Ah, cmon' God… I'd do the same for you… You'd know, I'd do the same for you… From a human to a God, before she throws that last bouquet… Loan me some wings for a day.
