Under the cover of night
she crawls into sight
Her skin is cold china white
She's a dark angel wearing dark glasses
Dark shadows under long false lashes
The night exposes the cracks
She wears her makeup like wax
to hide every scratch
'Cause she a dark angel
riding dark horses
Sitting pretty in her
dim lit covers, I say
Black cars look better in the shade
She smears her lipstick on
right before she sleeps
For all those phantom lovers
in her dreams
She smokes them French cigarettes
In cocktail gloves and a strapless dress
She cuts a perfect silhouette
But she's a dark angel wearing
dark glasses
A fading beauty as the
night time passes, I say
Black cars look better in the shade
Black cars (Black cars)
Black cars look better in the shade
Black cars (Black cars)
Black cars look better in the shade
