I hear you've got a lover who will not let you go
A kiss that makes you shiver drowns the whispers from below
You don't belong here
You always gamble everything you close your eyes and fall
Waiting for the phone to ring outside in the hall
You don't belong here
Helicopter climb so high
There's an angel on your shoulder
Does he make you feel alive
Helicopter you make me cry
I'm not strong enough to hold you
And you've got no wings to fly
You think you're indestructable
You act like a machine
An ambulance an aeroplane or something in between
You don't belong here
Helicopter climb so high
There's an angel on your shoulder
Does he make you feel alive
Helicopter you make me cry
I'm not strong enough to hold you
And you've got no wings to fly
You call me with that sleepy voice yearning in your veins
Crying that your best friend has let you down again
But there's nothing in my bedroom
No answers here tonight
And the candles that I burn for you don't shed that kind of light
Helicopter climb so high
There's an angel on your shoulder
Does he make you feel alive
Helicopter it's all a lie
I'm not strong enough to hold you
And you've got no wings to fly
