| I saw a street corner angel,
|
| Platinum problems pressed against the wall.
|
| She paid her dues, bought stiletto shoes,
|
| And had real mean pimp names Paul.
|
| Well, Paul, tied her up to the railroad tracks,
|
| 'Cause he didn’t get the money on time,
|
| I heard her screaming loud from the other side of town,
|
| And the train was coming down the line.
|
| Exclamation points jumped out her eyes,
|
| Rips all across her fish net thighs,
|
| Big tears are rolling
|
| As I’m struggling to cut her loose.
|
| She had a little bit of karma above her left eye,
|
| Came in the shape of a scar.
|
| I tried to help her out with a ride back home,
|
| But, she jumped right out of my car.
|
| Baby, I just really want to know you,
|
| Can’t keep me away, not if you tried,
|
| Got lost in your town, ain’t in no hurry,
|
| I’m faster than your man, he’ll never catch me!
|
| Since that night I really thought about things,
|
| I fell for an angel with the dirty wings.
|
| Now I have to find her, let her know how I feel,
|
| Got to tighten up some «bid'ness"for I make it real.
|
| Paul didn’t like that I pulled her off the tracks
|
| Real late last Saturday night.
|
| I knew he was mad when I got to the pad,
|
| 'Cause he left me a real nice surprise.
|
| He dropped a little message in my mailbox,
|
| Told me where to meet him, that we had to talk,
|
| He said I shouldn’t mess with his curly locks,
|
| And if I did again he’d pump me full of shots.
|
| I took the meeting with that pimp named Paul,
|
| Stabbed in the heart and watched him fall,
|
| Went looking for my angel all over the place,
|
| I found her in a movie by Andrew Blake.
|
| Baby, I just really want to know you,
|
| Can’t keep me away, not if you tried,
|
| Got lost in your town, ain’t in no hurry,
|
| I’m faster than your man, he’ll never catch me!
