Black angels laughing

In the city streets

Street toys scream in pain

And clench their teeth

The moonlight spotlights

All the city crime

Got no religion

Laugh while they fight



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



Sweet tarts play the game and

Shoot to thrill

Runnin' free 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



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



It's been the hard road, edge

Of an overdose

No matter how high you're

Still too low

I've been the dancer

The wicked romancer

It's a never-ending nightmare

Edge of disaster
