[Verse 1]
Black angels, laughin' 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 promise land

[Post-Chorus]
Mh-hm
Mh-hm-hm-hm

[Verse 2]
Sweet tarts play the game and shoot to thrill
Runnin' through the trash, dressed to kill
The midnight show-stoppers, just a funny money game
A hundred thousand bleedin' 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 promise land
Save our souls
[Guitar Solo]

[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 promise land

[Outro]
Save our souls for the promise land
Save our souls for the promise land
