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