Prayer For You Lyrics

Prayer For You

When you burn your kingdom
When you burn your kingdom
Through the ashes I will come
Through the ashes I will come
I know it makes no difference
I know it makes no difference
But I can’t leave ya to your fun
But I can’t leave ya to your fun
Usin’ up your torch song gifts
Usin’ up your torch song gifts
Why do you rush the end along? 
Why do you rush the end along? 
Actin’ like you’ll soon forget
Actin’ like you’ll soon forget
The end is comin’ on it’s own
The end is comin’ on it’s own
Just this once
Just this once
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
Though I won’t pretend to help
Though I won’t pretend to help
Just this once
Just this once
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
Burnin’ up the floorboards
Burnin’ up the floorboards
Burned every place you stood
Burned every place you stood
Every second chance: firewood
Every second chance: firewood
Bad luck is a famous name
Bad luck is a famous name
For what you brought yourself
For what you brought yourself
And I’m too dumb to help
And I’m too dumb to help
Just this once
Just this once
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
Though I won’t pretend I’m right
Though I won’t pretend I’m right
If you ask
If you ask
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
They say the city don’t give up
They say the city don’t give up
And I believe that’s true (don’t you? )
And I believe that’s true (don’t you? )
Ricochets from boom to bust
Ricochets from boom to bust
Like most of us
Like most of us
Who never cared enough...
Who never cared enough...
Just this once
Just this once
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
Though I won’t pretend I’m right
Though I won’t pretend I’m right
If you ask
If you ask
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
In the middle of the street
In the middle of the street
I will stop
I will stop
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
If that’s what you really want
If that’s what you really want
I will stop...
I will stop...
I’ll say a prayer for you
I’ll say a prayer for you
In the middle of the street...
In the middle of the street...
