Lyrics
Seven Careless Angels
Shadows are falling
Evening has come
A streetlight is blinking
Like eyes in the sun
Balanced on high heels
In the midsummer heat
Seven Careless Angels
Walk the Angeles streets
They’re poised and they’re painted
In lipstick and rouge
They hardly look saintly
From our point of view
There’s no Virgin Mary
On the streets where they walk
Just crosses to carry
And the souls of the lost.
As the evening’s unfolding
There’s burdens to bear
But no hearts of gold
On the streets anywhere
What you do for love
They do to survive
Can you blame them for wanting
To just stay alive
The men bearing treasure
Come and go never blamed
They chase after pleasure
Hearts unashamed
They travel around the world
Hoping Angels to find
But the Angels they look for
Aren’t the heavenly kind
Malaya was 30
Headin’ over the hill
But the men like them younger
When they’re looking for thrills
So she worked on the side streets
She did what she could
But the bad always seemed
To outweigh the good
One morning her children
Wake up all alone
For the first and the last time
She doesn’t come home
The night clerk was leaving
When he found her outside
She was buried on Friday
And the children all cried
Shadows are falling
The night’s drawing near
A streetlight is blinking
Like eyes full of tears
Children are waiting
For moms to come home
As Seven Careless Angels
Walk the dark streets alone
