You may not be an anges
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day
That one comes along
I'll string along with you

some kind of alien
waits for the opening
simply pulls the string
Love Comes Walkin' In ~ Van Halen
I got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger...
What a world!
What a life!
I'm in love!

I just wanna be your everything
open up the heaven in your heart
and let me be
the things you are to me
and not some puppet on a string...

I'd need some drums to set the beat,
And help me keep in time.
And way back in the distance,
Some strings would sound so fine.

But in real life I'm stuck with
That same old formula,
Me and my monophonic symphony,
Six string orchestra.
