Lizzy Thin Angel From The Coast Lyrics

Angel From The Coast Lyrics

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 as the post



Sally took to playing poker

The joker is her favorite 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
