Have you seen the midnight angel
Walking slowly down the street?
You can see her eyes are flashing
But they say she never speaks
And the story goes she lost her way
But I think she lost her faith
There's a lot of souls go missing here
It's not safe
Have you seen the midnight angel?
Well I hear she's done it all
Made a fool of politicians
And the law as I recall
There was no-one who could teach her right
Cause they all had moved away
There's a lot of souls go missing here
Every day
Those stupid questions won't help the flood
Of good intentions, misunderstood
But still the footsteps of life go on
And we embrace it until it's gone
She played it hard in the glare of the crowd
And now there's nowhere to run
Have you seen the midnight angel?
She'll be standing by the wall, yes
Like an enemy assassin
Had to learn to take the fall, oh yeah
Tries to memorise their faces well
But they all come out the same, oh
There's a lot of souls go missing here
Lost in vain, oh
Have you seen the midnight angel?
Every night she gets reborn, yes
She don't celebrate the passing
Turns away and takes the scorn
Like a pharaoh's gold Egyptian queen
Disappears without a trace, without a trace
There's a lot of souls go missing here
In this place, in this place oh
Those stupid questions won't help the flood
Of good intentions, misunderstood
But still the footsteps of life go on
And we embrace it until it's gone
She played it hard in the glare of the crowd
And now there's nowhere to run
Did you read the midnight angel
Couldn't show her face tonight?
There's a body in the water
And there's blood on someone's knife
But the story will be swept away
Just to keep somebody clean
There's a lot of souls go missing here
So it seems... So it seems
Oh, have you seen the midnight angel
Walking slowly down the street?
You can see her eyes are flashing
But they say she never speaks, no
