Verse 1 Cruisin' in my low-low, 'neath the neon's glow Had the world on a string, movin' nice and slow I found my one desire, made an old dream new I was king of the night, just me and you... My Earth Angel... Chorus You were my dream come true, my prayer answered right My chrome shinin' bright in the cool moonlight I called you my Earth Angel, held you tight, you see But now you're puttin' those wings to use, and leavin' me... (Saxophone solo, smooth and mournful) Verse 2 Remember at the drive-in, under stars above? I was singin' that song, swearin' on my love "Earth Angel," my favorite tune, I meant every word A future so forever, how absurd... I thought you were mine... Chorus You were my dream come true, my prayer answered right My chrome shinin' bright in the cool moonlight I called you my Earth Angel, held you tight, you see But now you're puttin' those wings to use, and leavin' me... Bridge Yeah, baby... I built this whole world for us. Hydraulics bumpin' to the beat of my heart. I thought our love was a classic, you know? Timeless. Like that song. But I guess... I guess even angels get the urge to fly away. Chorus You WERE my dream come true, my prayer answered right! Now my chrome's just dull, in the pale moonlight! I called you my Earth Angel, why wasn't that enough? You're packin' up your halo, and callin' my bluff... Outro My Earth Angel... my Earth Angel... Why you gotta fly away?
