Had to post this. Inspired by Twitter.

Angel

You can find me on the seventh floor
You can find me up between the walls
You can find me where I've never been
Between the karma sutra and original sin

You can find me where you never go
You can find me every time you say no
You can find me underneath the truth
Behind the lies, before the proof

And I will tell you every time
You have to lay it on the line
I will make you understand
You hold an angel in your hand

You will see me when it's late at night
And you'll see me when you're ready to give up the fight
You can hear me in the saddest song
Baby I will be there telling you it won't be long

And I will tell you every time
You have to lay it on the line
I will make you understand
You hold an angel in your hand

Silence waits, like a knife
I'll be there, always the one you find
Sorrow stands, in your heart
And I'll be waiting for you darling... in the dark

You can find me on the seventh floor
You'll have the key, you'll know the door
You can find me in an empty room
Waiting for you like an old familiar tune

And I will tell you every time
You have to stay awake and kind
Until you finally understand
You hold an angel in your hand

Baby you hold an angel in your hand

Wow, that's really beautiful.

Not sure I can see the connection to Twitter, but it's pretty damn hardcore. I'd love to hear the tune.

Thank you so much!

The story that inspired it was really weird - my friend's Twitter account was taken over by some mischievous co-workers of hers and they left some weird tweets saying stuff like "I'm an angel" and "you can find me on the seventh floor". I was bewildered and intrigued and decided to write a song.

There is a tune in my head, but I do not own a musical instrument or any real recording equipment, so in my head it will probably have to stay (unless I can work out how to use Garage Band on my Mac).

Haha, cool story about how it happened!
