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
