Valley Of Lost Souls
Poison · Flesh & Blood [1990]
Touch life barely sixteen
No angel of mercy
Coming down to save the soul of me
I took a Greyhound limousine
Straight to grand central NYC
It was ass, gas, or grass, living fast
Nobody rides for free
Chorus:
Living it up, giving it up
Living in the valley of lost souls
Wanting it all, taking the fall
Living in the valley of lost souls
Miss Misery come ride me
How I love her company
She did Boston justice
And wronged all the right out of me
The devil wears a black suit
He says I'm livin' like a bum
So what I'm looking like I'm half dead
A gypsy on the run
Chorus
Feels like time's running out on me
But I wasn't born to play nobody's fool
Ain't nobody gonna hold me down to play nobody's fool
Ain't nobody gonna hold me down
I've got to roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
Solo
Chorus
Somebody save me
Chorus
Somebody save me
Chorus
Somebody save me
