Angel from the Coast Lyrics
The sacred heart is bleeding
Go tell the Holy Ghost
That the junkie is still cheating
To get the thing he needs the most
Lady Luck has me covered
Keeping her watchful eyes over me
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree
Angel, she's a killer
Just flown in from the coast
Makes the hit, it's a winner
Leaves you dead as the post
Sally took to playing poker
The joker is her favorite card
The drunk he can't stay sober
He says it's much too hard
Meantime something seedy
Was happening across the hall
Somebody seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall
The cops they came like lightning
The bullets flew astray
The noise it was frightening
The crook he got away
Go tell the Holy Ghost
That the junkie is still cheating
To get the thing he needs the most
Keeping her watchful eyes over me
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree
Just flown in from the coast
Makes the hit, it's a winner
Leaves you dead as the post
The joker is her favorite card
The drunk he can't stay sober
He says it's much too hard
Was happening across the hall
Somebody seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall
The bullets flew astray
The noise it was frightening
The crook he got away

Various goings on of characters in a seedy low income apartment building..... As with most to all Thin Lizzy songs the guitar work is awesome.
@Thuno Indeed it is! The radio broadcast of it has the drummer r( (Brian Downey) really going to town. Talk about an underrated musician; Downey certainly is one. He is ONE of the best I've ever heard, He is from Ireland.also!
