the clock is runnin' backward 
the rain is fallin' dry 
the ice is freezin' up the window 
the wind is howlin' thru' my mind 
sixteen lonely hours since you told me you would call 
your friends have poor excuses 
I must have heard them all 

I've been sleepin' in a bottle 
while you cover me with sin 
oh dark angel tell me where you been 

nothin' cookin' in the kitchen 
nothin' warmin' up my bed 
has your heart been disconnected 
by the promise of a good time 
or did you always have an evil I could never recognize 

you got everybody's kisses 
baby tattooed on your skin 
oh dark angel tell me where you been 

tears that you've been laughin' 
are the only tears you cry 
every sympathetic shoulder gets to hear another lie 
if I could just forget you I surely would be free 
oh dark angel you gotta hold on me
