When the sun goes down on the city street

And the shadows move through the night

Daddy's little angel begins her dance

To the beat of the flashing lights



Down the murder mile with a seductive smile

She plays a desperate game

With a sweet caress another trick is blessed

On the corner of the 3rd and Main

In the city of pain



Through the toxic fog down the dirty streets

I follow her steps like a cat

Past the drugged out scenes

The transvestite queens

Past the order side of the tracks



She's a hard sell as she casts her spell

She's the wicked witch of the west

The touch of her skin the smell of her sin

My fantasies burn through my flesh

In the city of pain

In the city of pain



You giving away your body

Burning away your body

Deep in the heart of night



Maybe you need somebody

Maybe you need somebody

Deep in the heart of night



Bad to the bone you gotta

Make at alone you gotta

Right to be wrong to be right

In the city of pain

In the city of pain



She burns hot for now but she knows somehow

It's only a matter of time

She's gotta make her play until the day

When she lays all on a line



Through the broken glass of atonement window

Through the eyes of a little girl

You can see you can see her hopeless dreams

Light up a hopeless world - In the city of pain

In the city of pain
