[Verse 1] The desert was screaming In a throat full of sand Met a girl with a halo In a no-man’s land She smelled like the rain And a promise unkept While the rest of the bar In a fever-dream slept She spoke of the spirit Untouched and so deep I just counted the secrets I’m aiming to keep. [Verse 2] She wanted sincerity A heart like a child I wanted the venom And the blood running wild She talked about "honest" Like a word she just found While I stared at the filth On this low-rent ground I downed two more whiskeys To drown out her grace There’s no room for mercy In a God-forsaken place. [Chorus] So good luck, Angel Lady With your warmth and your light I’m hunting the shadows In the gut of the night We roll with the whiskey The rock and the snow In the dirt and the darkness Where the real humans go. [Bridge] I left her there weeping In a booth stained with beer For a girl in fishnets With a cold, hungry leer Give me the nasty The grease and the shame I’ve got ice in my marrow And gas on the flame. [Outro] Yeah, we’re built out of rubble And we thrive in the sin So don't knock on the door To let the purity in.
