Midnight Angel - Magnum

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

Like an enemy assassin

Had to learn to take the fall

Tries to memorise their faces well

But they all come out the same

There’s a lot of souls go missing here

Lost in vain

Have you seen the midnight angel?

Every night she gets reborn

She don’t celebrate the passing

Turns away and takes the scorn

Like a pharaoh’s gold, Egyptian queen

Disappears without a trace

There’s a lot of souls go missing here

In this place

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

Have you seen the midnight angel

Walking slowly down the street?

You can see her eyes are flashing

But they say she never speaks
