Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - 10,000 Angels lyrics

My head is reeling when I used to be so sure

Of why I'm here and why it is I'm going there

But now I fear I'm not getting anywhere

10,000 demons are scratchin' at my feet

Tearing at my soul ripping apart my belief

10,000 angels are flying overhead

Circling the ceiling reaching down onto my bed

I said, "Come to me I really want you

Come to me because I need you now

Come to me I really want you

Come to me I will go anywhere with you"

I rode my bicycle too fast and I fell down

A lot of people saw me fall onto the ground

I was embarrassed see my face turning red

I heard the angels laughing way above my head

I said, "Come to me I really want you

Come to me because I need you now

Come to me I really want you

Come to me and I will go anywhere with you"

10,000 demons are scratchin' at my feet

Tearing at my soul ripping apart my belief

10,000 angels are flying through my heart

whispering secrets and tearing me apart

Ten million people close their eyes to sleep

Ten million people pry the Lord my soul to keep
