Lyrics

On the corner of St. Mark's
I saw an angel
Playing a guitar
And begging for change
Ooh, I guess I shouldn't have believed my eyes
But when he wiggled his wings
I melted like ice cream
He began to sing
Not very well
He said, "Ooh, sweet girl
A storyteller never lies"
It should have been enough
I couldn't make this up
Stranger than fiction is my love
My love
Now there's an angel in my bed
I can't kick him out
And his junkyard head
Is starting to smell
Ooh, I guess it must have been a hell of a night
'Cause as he stumbled to the door
He just didn't care
That his wings were on the floor
Right where they fell
Ooh, and I'm still looking for a heavenly light
I couldn't say goodbye
The angel made me cry
Stranger than fiction like my life
My life
Ooh, he said the storyteller never lies
"Hey Mac, when you fly back to heaven
Can I come for the ride?"
He said, "No kid, I don't live in heaven
I live here on the Lower East Side"
So now I'm back with my old guy
But I think of the angel
How he blatantly lied
And restabled his wings
Ooh, now I start running when an angel sings
There couldn't be a scarier thing
Stranger than fiction is my life
