Edge of the Block

Midnight burning on the boulevard

Rain falls down on the street

I heard your voice from a speeding car

Like a sudden spark and heat

You wore danger like a leather coat With a halo made of

smoke Every promise caught in your throat Every word another broken joke

You said,

"Come on, don't be afraid" But I knew the price you made

Bad angel,

flying low

Got a heart of fire and a soul of stone

Bad angel,

take me higher

Dancing on the wire of a live wire

If heaven's got a door,

you'll never knock

You're the bad angel on the edge of the block

Black boots pounding on the avenue

Rebel rhythm in your veins

You make a sin look beautiful Then disappear into the flames I

saw the devil

in your rearview Smiling like an old friend

But every road that leads back to you Is a road I'll

take again

You said, "Love is just a loaded gun"

Then you pulled me toward the sun

No wings, no prayers,

no alibi

Just thunder rolling through the sky

You kissed the darkness,

called it home

Now I'm lost but not alone Let the sirens sing Let the

church bells ring

We're too far gone to turn around When bad angels hit the

ground

Bad angel, flying low

Got a heart of fire and a soul of stone

Bad angel, take me higher

Dancing on the wire of a live wire

If heaven's got a door,

you'll never knock

You're the bad angel,

bad angel The bad angel on the edge of the block

Midnight fading, morning comes But your shadow still remains

Bad angel, when the daylight runs I'll be

calling out your name (calling out your

name)
