about
This song still disturbs me, a bit ashamed for watching the muted news clip on CNN for as long as I did. A twenty-something attractive lady ready to jump to her death from a hi-rise balcony with crowd below waiting, almost seeming to want to welcome her into their arms. I played the initial pattern so long that it started to feel like a verse. At that point I knew I had to be a closer observer, substituting a balcony for a rooftop and a camera for a mind's eye. And for that one brief moment in time when you really are flying. I wonder, with impending doom at hand, if your soul deserts you just before impact, knowing you're on your way to somewhere else anyway. Well, Angels are sexy and look great in music videos and television commercials. And what if she stepped off the ledge knowing it was an initiation and she was about to receive her wings. She's blushing because she knows she could have been a little more discrete. I'd like to think this is what happened ...
lyrics
There she stands-
With the wind whippin' through her hair
And her hands are trembling from the fear she feels inside her
Still she waits -
'Til the bright red fear is a numbing grey
Then she'll hear the voice that seems to guide her.
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings.
Far below-
There's a hundred lights and a million souls
Who'd love to know what's going on inside her
She hesitates-
A final push, then it's much too late
To wonder if she's any good at flying.....
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings
- When she gets her wings -
There she stands-
With the wind whippin' through her hair and her hands
Are trembling from the fear she feels inside her....
With the wind whippin' through her hair
And her hands are trembling from the fear she feels inside her
Still she waits -
'Til the bright red fear is a numbing grey
Then she'll hear the voice that seems to guide her.
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings.
Far below-
There's a hundred lights and a million souls
Who'd love to know what's going on inside her
She hesitates-
A final push, then it's much too late
To wonder if she's any good at flying.....
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings
Tonight's the night when Angel gets her wings
- When she gets her wings -
There she stands-
With the wind whippin' through her hair and her hands
Are trembling from the fear she feels inside her....
