Lyrics
Mark: God, I dreamed there was an angel Who could hear me through the wall As I cried out like in Latin, "This is so not life at all" Help me out, out of this nightmare Then I heard her silver call She said "Just give it time, kid I come to one and all" She said give me that hand please An itch you can't control Let me teach you how to handle All the sadness in your soul Oh we'll work that silver magic Then we'll aim it at the wall She said love may make you blind, kid <span class="line line-s" id="line_17" style="padding-right:5px;padding-left:5px;font:inherit;display:block;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:22px;">But I wouldn't mind at all
