Thanks to Josh for posting them in the comments.
[Verse 1]
So my heart di
d a back flip
I guess that's
what they'd s
ay
I hadn't seen
her since high
school gradua
tion
I brought my o
ld hopes
She brought he
r fiancé
And we shared
some inane con
versation
[Chorus]
Just as beauti
ful, oh just a
s charming.
But lord, what
is this new d
imension
She has the di
gnity of a lif
e not for me
Plans that I n
eeded a wrench
in
I guess it goe
s to show
Something a yo
ung man ought
to know
Angels are jus
t people too
[Verse 2]
In my dark age
s
When I was the
earth
And my univers
e spun out aro
und
They lined the
firmament
These angels o
f mine
So pretty, and
so far from t
he ground
[Chorus]
They're just a
s beautiful, o
h just as char
ming
But lord, what
is this new d
imension
They have the
dignity of a l
ife not for me
Plans that I n
eeded a wrench
in
And I guess it
goes to show
Something a yo
ung man ought
to know
Angels are jus
t people too
[Bridge]
And oh, when I
smashed out t
he pedestal
What a pleasan
t surprise
Here they all
were, just hal
f of the world
Only holy thro
ugh my teenage
eyes
[Chorus]
Just as beauti
ful, oh just a
s charming
But lord, what
is this new d
imension
Inconceivable,
that a girl c
ould be more
Than a foil fo
r my romantic
pretensions
So I guess it
goes to show
Something a yo
ung man ought
to know
Angels are jus
t people too
[Outro]
And now I fina
lly know what
I should have
long ago
Thank god, the
y're just peop
le, too
