She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose
She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right
Makes her money one dollar at a time
Without the makeup, nobody knows her name
And she wears the pain
Black tears rolling down
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
She reveals and they all cheer
And then she cries black tears
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she is convinced
The boss man is still a friend she needs
She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine
Anything to hide the pain for a little while
The wrong kind of famous in her mama's eyes
You can tell she knows it when she cries
Black tears rolling down
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
White lines on the mirror
Just won't hide black tears
She tries and tries so hard to get away
But everybody is watching
Black tears rolling down
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
If all the pain would just disappear
She'd quit crying, yeah, she'd quit crying
Black tears
