SUCH A LONESOME SOUND WHEN AN ANGEL HITS THE GROUND
SOMETIMES YOU GET TO SLIDING AND IT SURE GETS HARD TO STOP
TILL YOU SLIDE ON DOWN IN THE BACKSEAT
YOU'RE THE BRAND NEW QUEEN OF THE PARKING LOT

WHEN YOU FIND IT SURE IS A LONG WAY HOME
CARRYING THE GUILT OF A CATHOLIC GIRL

ANOTHER LIGHT GOES OUT IN THE MOTEL SOUTH OF TOWN
COME MORNING GIRL, IT'S ALWAYS BROKEN GLASS THAT YOU FOUND
