When his stolen gold has turned to rust
He rides off in a cloud of dust
Lookin' for a border he can cross
She'll stand by and watch him go
Wonderin' if he'll ever know
The hurt she's feelin' now
And what they've lostAngels love bad men that's how it's always been
They give their whole hearts when they fall
Angels love bad men that's how it's always been
Love holds their hearts against the wallWhen his corporate day comes to and end
He rides away in his Mercedes Benz
Soon he's lost beneath the neon sky
Outside of town, in their suburban home
She spends another night alone
And wonders what went wrong wonders whyAngels love bad men that's how it's always been
They give their whole hearts when they fall
Angels love bad men that's how it's always been
Love holds their hearts against the wall
