Prayer for You — текст песни (Walkabouts, The)

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...
