She's An Angel

by They Might Be Giants

I met someone at the dog show

She was holding my left arm

But everyone was looking normal so I tried to look nonchalant

We both said, "I really love you,"

The Shriners loaned us cars

We raced up and down the sidewalk twenty thousand million times

 Why did they send her over anyone else?

How should I react?

These things happen to other people

They don't happen at all, in fact

 (chorus)

When you're following an angel
Does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Calling you an angel, calling you the nicest things
I heard they had a space program
When they sing you can't hear, there's no air
Sometimes I think I kind of like that and
Other times I think I'm already there

Gonna ask for my admission

Gonna speak to the man in charge,

The secretary says he's on another line,

Can I hold for a long, long time?

I found out she's an angel

I don't think she knows I know

I'm worried that something might happen to me

If anyone ever finds out

 

Why did they send her over anyone else?

How should I react?

These things happen to other people

They don't happen at all, in fact

(chorus)
