David Knopfler - Madonna's Daughter lyrics

The darkest of angels Runs with the night Checking out of Heaven She's the angel's shining light Through the clublands of Babel A dancer in the crowd Watch her steal the limelight The music playing, the music playing loud You'll get no pity From Madonna's Daughter There's no time for remorse now Men are easy, Easy, easy slaughter The practiced actress The darling's delight Takes a man upon each arm And takes them for the night They love her and they bleed for her Embrace her every pain Step forth Madonna's Daughter Just a kiss off in the rain It's a desperate encounter You don't wanna fight Deliverance coming In a white shaft of delight She comes for you in the early hours Surrenders to the danger Madonna's Daughter The darkest of strangers You love her and feed her Embrace her every pain Step forth Madonna's Daughter Just a kiss off in the rain A kiss off in the rain now In the rain now She awakes looking beautiful Helplessly free Sleeps like a snake Dreams lean, mean and hungry Out upon the mainstreet She's come through the flame Mad Donna's crazy daughter A kiss off in the rain You love her and you bleed for her And she's driving you insane Oh, it's Madonna's Daughter Just a kiss off, a kiss off in the rain How can I explain Madonna's Daughter It's like a ball and chain How can I explain Oh, Madonna's Daughter
