Ordinary Angel

I got the card, delivers the goods

Fills me with happiness

It's joy for a while 'till the first of the month

Then I'm chasing my tail again

I want a life that's bigger than me

'Cause I'm crushing myself to death

Tell you what I don't need

No heaven sent deity

'Cause I'm an ordinary angel

Winning tiny victories

And though the ordinary angels fly

Their wings weigh heavily

I try to be a daily genius

There's no idea beyond my reach

With all the angels and the geniuses

My company I'm gonna keep

I'm watching the news and I feel my face

Hanging like plasticene

Now I see the plot, I've got the plan

Every move is transparent to me

Profit and power's turning the world

And I'm leaning against the spin

Give me a vision please

And I don't mean heavenly

I'm an ordinary angel

Winning tiny victories

And though the ordinary angels fly

Their wings weigh heavily

I try to be a daily genius

There's no idea beyond my reach

With all the angels and the geniuses

My company I'm gonna keep

I want a life that's bigger than me

'Cause I'm crushing myself to death

Give me a vision please

And I don't mean heavenly

I am an ordinary angel

I am an ordinary angel child

Walking with the daily geniuses

I am an ordinary angel

Flying as high as I can...
