about

Inspired by the novels & characters of Jim Butcher, specifically a certain fallen angel and a certain snarky wizard.

lyrics

Just a bad boy from the get-go
with a chivalrous streak a mile wide,
devil on your shoulder,
angel at your side.
So you work best single-handed.
Give a girl half of a chance.
A lady never rushes her engagements,
and we've only just started to dance.

Sin from your lips, and I'm listening,
though you're far from the first that I've had.
My middle name is Temptation.
I got by you babe, but don't feel too bad.
It's true, I've had a little bit of practice
at the length and breadth of this game.
You can run from my kiss, but I promise you this:
you're never gonna be the same.

Fallen angel, beautiful thief,
pretty little vampire cuttin' her teeth;
regardless of the lady or her level of disgrace,
you just can't say no to a pretty face.
The city is sleepin' safe and sound.
"Nevernever" never had it so fine.
As for me, I can be patient
'cause some day, you are gonna be mine.

Oh, honey, I know that it's been a long time.
Your cloak's gone a little bit gray.
I can help you out with your troubles,
but you have to let me stay.
You already gave me permission
to slip beneath your skin.
Why bear the weight of the whole damn world
when all you gotta do is let me in?

You can't return to what you were
before you took first blood,
but I've got your back if you let me.
An angel never breaks her word.
Mama will make it all better,
lift you up when you're down
from leavin' a part of your gigantic heart
in the paranormal lost-and-found.

Fallen angel, beautiful thief,
pretty little vampire cuttin' her teeth;
regardless of the lady or her level of disgrace,
you just can't say no to a pretty face.
The city is sleepin' safe and sound.
"Nevernever" never had it so fine.
As for me, I am bloody well patient
'cause some day, you are gonna be mine!

Chicago is sleepin' safe and sound.
"Nevernever" never had it so fine.
As for me, I can be patient
'cause some day, you're gonna be mine.
As for me, I am bloody well patient
'cause some day, you're gonna be mine.
Said some fine day, you'll be mine.
