Proud Desperado

Written by Kip Winger, Reb Beach & Desmond Child

The city burns
There's no return
Never saw it coming
The crimson skies
Smoke blinds your eyes
You took a stand
With a gun in your hand
They sowed your doubt
Then sold you out
Never saw it coming
You're losing blood
Face down in mud
Nothing is clear
In a river of tears

Proud Desperado
Where are your heroes
Proud Desperado
Where are your false idols now

Bullets fall like rain
Nothing bleeds forever
No one hears you
No one feels your pain
I saw you lying in the street

You live you die
And don't know why
Running scared from something
Your time is up
So what the fuck
Was your life all about
You're in then you're out

Proud Desperado
Where are your heroes
Proud Desperado
Where are your false idols now

Bullets fall like rain
Nothing bleeds forever
No one hears you
No one feels your pain
Prayers are said in vain
Heaven's out of angels
No one's out there
No one's left to care
No one's left to care

Proud Desperado
Where are your heroes
Proud Desperado
Where are your false idols now

Bullets fall like rain
Nothing bleeds forever
No one hears you
No one feels your pain
Prayers are said in vain
Heaven's out of angels
No one's out there
No one's left to care
I saw you lying in the street
