[00:15.98].
[00:29.48]She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose,
[00:35.59]She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club
[00:43.26]She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right,
[00:50.17]Makes her money one dollar at a time.
[00:57.44]Without the makeup, nobody knows her name,
[01:03.86]And she wears the pain
[01:08.71].
[01:09.44]Black tears, rolling down,
[01:16.31]From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
[01:22.96]She reveals, and they all cheer,
[01:29.90]Then she cries, black tears
[01:36.93].
[01:48.62]Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced,
[01:55.48]The boss man is still a friend she needs.
[02:02.41]She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine,
[02:08.88]Anything to hide the pain for a little while
[02:15.88]The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes,
[02:22.98]You can tell she knows it when she cries
[02:27.77].
[02:28.33]Black tears, rolling down
[02:35.09]From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town,
[02:41.99]White lights on the mirror,
[02:48.92]Just won't hide, black tears
[02:54.51].
[02:54.70]She tries and tries so hard to get away
[03:00.25]But everybody's watching
[03:05.45].
[03:06.18]Black tears, rolling down,
[03:12.72]From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town,
[03:19.32]If all the pain would just disappear
[03:26.51]She'd quit cryin', yeah she'd quit cryin',
[03:36.92]Black tears
[03:40.15].
