A joke is not a joke, it's serious stuff
Till it's laughed at this moment's not the past
It's nothing at all till I say that

Angel, throw me a line
It's about time, it's about time
Never too late, I will escape
I just can't wait

Don't tell me there's no tears left to cry
Don't tell me that you're lonely
You're lonely remembering the who, how and why
Don't tell I'm your only if only

The glitter and the gloom
Catch a glimpse of you in the room
Dollar bills for dreams
Nothing round here's quite what it seems

Angel, throw me a line
It's about time, it's about time
Never too late, I will escape
I just can't wait

Don't tell me there's no tears left to cry
Don't tell me that you're lonely
You're lonely remembering the who, how and why
Don't tell me I'm your only if only

If I could feel it, if only
If I could mean it, if only
