Angel from the Coast

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sacred heart is bleeding Go tell the Holy Ghost That the junkie is cheating To get the things he needs the most [Chorus] Lady luck has got me covered Keeping her watchful eyes over me The lovers are discovered The charge is first degree [Verse 2] Angel, she's a killer She's just flown in from the coast Makes the hit, it's a winner Leaves you dead past the post [Chorus] And Sally's took to playin' poker And the joker is her favorite card And the drunk, he can't stay sober He says it's, oh, much too hard, it's much too hard [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Meantime, somethin' seedy Was happenin' across the hall Someone seemed to be groanin' You could hear it through the wall [Chorus] And the cops, they came like lightnin' The bullet flew astray And the noise, it was frightenin' But the crook, he got away
