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 its 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...
