She puts on her work clothes
fishnet panty hose, shes got a nickname everybody knows at the gentelmans club
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right
makes her money one dollar at a time
without the makeup nobody knows her name, but she wears the pain.
(Chorus)
(Black tears rollin down from the eyes of an angel in a sinners town. she reveals and they all cheer then she cries black tears.)
Jealous of the innocence but somehow she's convinced the bossman is still a friend that she needs. she's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine anything to hide the pain for a little while. the wrong kind of famous in her mommas eyes. you can tell she knows it when she cries
(Chorus)
Black tears rollin down from the eyes of an angel in a sinners town. white lights on the mirror just wont hide black tears.
She tries and tries so hard to get away, but everybodies watchin.
(Chorus)
Black tears rollin down from the eyes of an angel in a sinners town. if all the pain would just disappear, she'd quit cryin, she'd quit cryin, black tears
