Lucero - The Devil and Maggie Chascarillo lyrics

Cops shut down a show at
Mad Dogs last Friday night
Maggie slipped Daphne out the alley
Door just in time
Flagged a ride in Doyle's truck
Ray was driving, what a piece of luck
Back to the apartment, put on
Pleased to Meet Me, valentine

Love and Rockets won't you please
Maggie and the Devil in
The California streets
Oh, Maggie the mechanic, punk rock girl
A lonely saint
Oh who would have thought it was
Gonna turn out this way? (Alright)

Now Izzy was a widow long before
She went down to Mexico
And Hopey was the other half
Knew everything that Ray didn't know


Tear it up Miss Terry Downe
Doyle's sleeping by the railroad tracks
It gets tough when the past and
The present are so close

Love and Rockets won't you please
Maggie and the Devil in
The California streets
Oh, Maggie the mechanic, punk rock girl
Lonely saint
Oh, who would have thought it was
Gonna turn out this way?
And Maggie says don't mind me
I'm just another graveyard ghost
Oh Maggie, oh Maggie, don't you know?

And I was just a kid, a long way from home
Looking for something, I felt all alone
Some kids are grown up, some kids are gone
Maggie just needed a song, play it!
(Hey! Hey! Let's go)

Love and Rockets won't you please
Maggie and the Devil in
The California streets
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey)
And Maggie the mechanic, punk rock girl
Lonely saint
Oh, who would have thought it was
Gonna turn out this way?
And Maggie says don't mind me
I'm just another graveyard ghost
Oh Maggie, oh Maggie, don't you know? (Hey)
