Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Black angels laughing in the city streets
Street toys scream in pain and clench their teeth
The moonlight spotlights all the city's crime
And got no religion, laugh while they fight
[Chorus]
Save our souls for the heavens
For a life so good it sure feels bad
Save our souls for the heavens
Save our souls for the promised land
[Verse 2]
Sweet tarts play the game and shoot to thrill
Running through the trash dressed to kill
The midnight show-stoppers it's a funny money game
A hundred thousand bleeding hearts put us in our graves
[Chorus]
Save our souls for the heavens
For a life so good it sure feels bad
Save our souls for the heavens
Save our souls for the promised land
Save our souls
[Verse 3]
Well it's been a hard road edge of an overdose
No matter how high well you're still too low
I've been the dancer the wicked romancer
A never ending nightmare edge of disaster
[Chorus]
Save our souls for the heavens
For a life so good it sure feels bad (Yeah)
Save our souls for the heavens
Save our souls for the promised land
Save our souls for the promised land
Save our souls for the promised land
Written by: Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil
