Angel From The Coast - Thin Lizzy

Written by：Brian Robertson/Phil Lynott

The sacred heart is bleeding

Go and tell the Holy Ghost

That the drunk is cheating

To get the things he needs the most

Lady Luck has got me covered

Keeping her watchful eyes over me

The lovers are discovered

The charge is first degree

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

And Sally's took to playing poker

And the joker is her favourite card

And the drunk he can't stay sober

He says it's oh much too hard it's much too hard

Meantime something seedy

Was happening across the hall

Someone seemed to be groaning

You could hear it through the wall

And the cops they came like lightning

The bullet flew astray

And the noise it was frightening

But the crook he got away

Got away got away got away got away
