Pray For The Girls Lyrics

Last night I had the strangest dream

Saw everybody running in the streets

Leapfrogging salmon trying to get upstream

The dream was over but I could not sleep

I had to put on the lights when she said that



Last night I had the strangest dream

The sky was dark and I could not see

Felt underwater when I tried to scream

When I heard the rooster I was finally free

I was a little bit frightened when he said that



Last night I had the strangest dream

Me and the chickens running in the streets

We met a monkey with an eye that gleamed

He drew that line we couldn't move our beaks

A doggie woke me and he said hey rooster



Last night I had the strangest dream

The war was over but I had no peace

The moon was waning so it wasn't the beams

It's just a dream but I have no peace

I eavesdropped on my masters they said that



Last night we had the strangest dream

It was disturbing, oh, what does it mean?

Monkey in a turban, oh, what does it mean?

Last night we had the strangest dream

We better go to the mayor, then we drove

Downtown to have a talk with the mayor



He told my masters uh, oh, can't you see?

What we have here is a prophecy

Cross your fingers people say a prayer

I'm not a religious dog but I say that



Better pray for the girls

Better pray for the girls

Ain't no other hope in this whole world



In sleep we searched behind the sun

A funny place to find someone

We did not find them on the moon

We dreamed that's where they disappeared



We dreamed perhaps another pearl

Or dangling on some other dune

But darker dreams we fear

Where'd you go this time, girls?



Better pray for the girls

Better pray for the girls

Ain't no other hope in this whole world
