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
