Counting Crows When I Dream Of Michelangelo Lyrics

When I Dream Of Michelangelo Lyrics

You know I don't like you but you wanna be my friend

There are bodies on the ceiling and they're fluttering their wings

It's okay, I'm angry but you'll never understand

When you dream of Michelangelo they hang above your hands



And I know she is not my friend

And I know 'cause there she goes

Walking on my skin again



And I can't see why you wanna talk to me

When your vision of America is crystal and clean

I wanna white bread life just something ignorant and plain

But from the walls of Michelangelo I'm dangling again



And I know she is not my friend

And I know 'cause there she goes

Walking on my skin again and again



Saturn on a line, the sun afire of strings and wires

Spin above my head and make it right

Anytime you'd like you can catch a sight

Of angel eyes on emptiness and infinite



And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed

I see God upon the ceiling, I see angels overhead

And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand

We are never quite as close as we are led to understand



And I know she is not my friend

And I know 'cause there she goes

Walking, walking, walking



And I know she is not my friend

And I know 'cause there she goes

Walking on my skin again and again



On my mind, oh, Lord, no

Yes, she's walking on my skin again and again
