BROKEN ANGEL


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
COPYRIGHT CONTROL, 2008


Like a cardinal - wings clipped she’s bound to fall
A dreamer who’s every dream has gone from sight
There she hides in a corner…her eyes a million miles away
She’s a banshee in the dark…so be careful when you play

 

Like a ghost ship doomed to sail the seven seas
Like a single red rose in a garden of weeds
Like a lonesome drifter in the slipstream of the night
Sharp like a razor’s edge…one last kiss before you die

 

She’s like a sleeping goddess waiting to be kissed
Like a bullet from a gun never meant to miss
Like an old-aged hobo tired of waiting for a train to ride
See the gone-ness in her eyes when she roams the streets at night
Broken angel, broken angel in the city of
The city of……the city of crime
Broken angel, broken angel…..in the city of crime

 

Like a renegade of love a-running wild
Like the phoenix from the ashes of the night
High octane fuel for blood…the Holy Grail in hand
Black dressed bird of prey…..she’ll get you if she can

 

She’s like a princess tired of being tied to golden chains
Like a deadly flower blooming in the shade
Once attracted by the flame, soon the moth is gonna fry
See the gone-ness in her eyes when she roams the streets at night
Broken angel, broken angel in the city of
The city of……the city of crime
Broken angel, broken angel…..in the city of crime
Broken angel, broken angel…..in the city of crime
Broken angel, broken angel…..in the city of crime
