i get up every morning drink coffee alone my house it s too quiet i m the only one home i let the newspapers pile up at the door i can t be bothered i don t read em no more the flowers are blooming that you planted last spring i can t make much sense out of anything if i could kidnap an angel i d clip off his wings and bring them to you that would fix everything i get in the car like i do every day wondering how in the world did it turn out this way it s just around the corner turn left and i m there i d do anything to be anywhere but here if i could kidnap an angel i d clip off his wings and bring them to you that would fix everything if i could kidnap an angel he could teach us to fly we d live forever forever we d never die if i could kidnap an angel now the parking attendant knows my first name these long green hallways all look the same there s four elevators one goes to that floor i brace myself when i get to the door i close my eyes and take a deep breath then sit down beside your hospital bed he d say the word he d tear down these walls people laughing like children through these hospital halls there d be no more tears there d be no more blood there d be nothing but smiles nothing but love if i could kidnap an angel if i could kidnap an angel
