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 lost Angels 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 When 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 why Angels 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
