Angel After Hours

I WAS IN HEAVEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE LAST NIGHT

WHEN HE CAME AROUND

AND SHOWED ME WHAT I'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE

AFTER CHECKING WINGS AND HALO AT THE DOOR

HOW AN ANGEL LOOKS HALF DRESSED, AND LYING DOWN

I WAS IN HEAVEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE LAST NIGHT

BUT IT WAS AFTER HOURS

WHEN ALL THE HARD WORK OF BEING GOOD IS DONE

WELL WHO KNEW THAT ANGELS COULD BE SUCH FUN

AND WERE SO FOND OF TAKING LONG HOT SHOWERS?

NOW I'M BACK HERE ON EARTH

IT'S THE SAME PLACE I KNEW

WHERE THE DAYS THEY GO BY

AND TIME TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO

BUT I'D TRADE ALL THESE CITY STREETS, AND PRETTY FLOWERS

FOR ANOTHER PEEK AT ANGEL AFTER HOURS

FOR ANOTHER PEEK AT ANGER AFTER HOURS

I WAS IN HEAVEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE LAST NIGHT

THOUGH IT WASN'T PLANNED

EVERYTHING ELSE FELL AWAY WHEN HE FLEW IN

AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO WONDER WHERE THE HELL HE'D BEEN

HE MADE BELLS RING AND BIRDS SING WITH JUST ONE HAND

NOW I'M BACK HERE ON EARTH

IT'S THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE

BUT I FEEL HIM UP THERE

LOOKING STRAIGHT DOWN AT ME

AND I'D SWEAR OFF MASCARA AND WHISKEY SOURS

FOR ANOTHER PEEK AT ANGEL AFTER HOURS

FOR ANOTHER PEEK AT ANGEL AFTER HOURS
