Story behind the song
I used to have my own personal angel. It was handy. She would bring me messages from God. But as I got to know her better, she began to look more and more like a woman.
Lyrics
I Dont Need No Angel Angels never suffer They dont live dust to dust They never bleed except their hearts No hunger, thirst, or lust Are you ready to cross over? Can you live a womans life? Can you walk without a halo? Can you play the devils wife? Chorus: I dont need no angel To teach me how to pray Come on in, the waters cool Wrestle on earth with this holy fool I dont need no angel No miracle today Angels undercover No daughters, sisters, mothers They dont make love to others But I see you contemplating change I got the words you brought me Those messages from God Now I want to touch the messenger The maidens stare, the womans nod Chorus Angels arent delivered Theyve been here all along Theres nothing I can do or say To make you laugh or turn you on I think youre ready for translation Embrace this muddy earth Come on down and help me live With death and sex and birth I guess it takes an angel To show me to the light Come on in, the waters cool Wrestle on earth with this holy fool If I lose my angel One last miracle tonight Originally Come On Down To Earth Words and Music: Bruce McKinney Copyright 2004
