I put my halo on backward
Walked into the bar alone
You said, “Baby, you’re an angel”
I said, “You should take me home”
I know heaven wouldn’t want me
But tonight, neither do I
I’m your neon saint, glowing in the dark
Kiss me like a sinner, leave me with a spark
I can be your miracle till the morning comes
I’m your neon saint, but I’m nobody’s nun
You confessed beside the jukebox
Every heart you ever broke
I forgave you for a minute
Then disappeared into the smoke
I know heaven wouldn’t want me
But tonight, neither do I
I’m your neon saint, glowing in the dark
Kiss me like a sinner, leave me with a spark
I can be your miracle till the morning comes
I’m your neon saint, but I’m nobody’s nun
Light a candle, say my name
Love and worship aren’t the same
I’m your neon saint, brighter than before
You can keep your promises—I don’t need them anymore
I became my miracle underneath the rising sun
I’m a neon saint, and I belong to no one
