Human To A God

Just a small request from this human to a god Let me ask of you a favor, it might seem a little odd I'm at a loss I need to cross the ocean wide And I need to do it soon, like tomorrow afternoon If that's okay Loan me some wings for a day Loan me some wings for a day They don't need to be angel's wings, I'm sure they're in demand Something better than a chicken or a penguin would be grand I just can't wait She's set the date to marry him and it really should be me Which explains the urgency I can't delay Loan me some wings for a day Loan me some wings for a day I promise I won't use them for a daredevil career I won't buzz the White House or race seagulls at the pier I won't get caught Doing naughty things with pigeons or cropdusting in Des Moines And I won't run off to join Cirque de Soleil Loan me some wings for a day Loan me some wings for a day Loan me some wings for a day Loan me some wings for a day I wouldn't ask this of anybody else I'm sure you sympathize Cause you're the one who made those lips Put the sparkle in her eyes It's not your fault I said the things I said I don't blame you for making me a fool But with these wings, I'll fly straight to her side This time I'll follow through Oh, come on, God, I'd do the same for you Just a small request from this human to a God Before she throws that last bouquet Loan me some wings for a day Loan me some wings for a day Loan me some wings for a day
