Angel From The Coast

The Sacred Heart is bleeding
Go tell the Holy Ghost.
That the junkie is still cheating
To get the thing he needs the most.
Lady Luck has me covered
Keeping her watchful eyes over me.
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree.
Angel, she's a killer
Just flown in from the coast.
Makes the hit, it's a winner
Leaves you dead past the post.
Sally took to playing poker
The Joker is her favourite card.
The drunk he can't stay sober
He says it's much too hard.
Meantime something seedy
Was happening across the hall.
Somebody seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall.
The cops they came like lightning
The bullets flew astray.
The noise it was frightening
The crook....... he got away.
