I need a sign to let me know you're here All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere I need to know that things are gonna look up 'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head When you feel the world shake from the words that are said I need a sign to let me know you're here 'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear I want a reason for the way things have to be I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me And I'm calling all angels I'm calling all you angels When children have to play inside so they don't disappear And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for years And football teams are kissing Queens And losing sight of having dreams In a world that what we want is only what we want until it's ours I'm calling all angels I'm calling all you angels
