Angel from the Coast

[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
