The Lyrics
....from an angel's viewpoint
The loveliness of Heaven
Seems very far away
The glories I had known
Were from another day
I've been terribly lost and forsaken in Manhattan
I'm going back to the City of the saints
I left my harp way up in Heaven
I fell to earth, and I'll tell you--
It all came as quite a shock,
Star Trek and Dr. Spock
And then I saw Phil Donahue!
Oh, what a zoo
I'm going to fly back up to Heaven
Soon as I can use my wings
I can't take handle this "down to earth" stuff
And these crazy human beings!
Seems very far away
The glories I had known
Were from another day
I've been terribly lost and forsaken in Manhattan
I'm going back to the City of the saints
I left my harp way up in Heaven
I fell to earth, and I'll tell you--
It all came as quite a shock,
Star Trek and Dr. Spock
And then I saw Phil Donahue!
Oh, what a zoo
I'm going to fly back up to Heaven
Soon as I can use my wings
I can't take handle this "down to earth" stuff
And these crazy human beings!
