"Is it Angel or Demon?"
Evil Overlady
As the setting sun fades
And it bathes the sky in deep-rose,
Stone gargoyles shade
Manhattan's highest patios.
I lock my home for the night
And get into my patrol car.
Something winged takes flight.
Perhaps, a shady avatar?
Chorus:
I feel in the night
Someone is watching me.
Of wrong or of right,
I may not get to see.
A slash of its claws
And I live to see the dawn.
Does it care about laws?
Is it angel or demon?
I caught a scream on the wind
And made a call to dispatch,
Made a turn 'round the bend
And met much more than my match.
Gangsters surrounded me fast
And bashed out every window,
Yanked me into their mass,
Backs to an approaching shadow.
[Chorus]
A lion's roar cut the air
As talons snapped bones like toothpicks.
Smart ones took to elsewhere,
The rest dropped like moaning piles of bricks.
Then, remained only me
And a silent demonic silhouette
Till sirens caused it to flee
Into shadows as black as polished jet.
[Chorus]
I spent some time in E.R.
Till doctors gave me the okay,
Skipped a trip to the bar
And made it home at break of day.
I counted my statues
But every one was accounted for,
'Cept one had a different view.
A smile not seen before.
[Chorus]
Is it angel... or demon?
