[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
