Prayer for the Paranoid Lyrics

I′ll send you a letter

From the frontline

 

Please send applause

And some good advice

You were born with a compass

A map on your table

 

Tell me how did you find out

Your bearings were wrong

Just pray for us

Pray for sunshine

 

These days are cold

 

And I′m missing you

 

The city is no place to lose

Ah but I never thought

I could choose

It was plain from the start

 

Plain from the start

I was playing for time

I need laughter and love

Some special drug

I need cigarettes

 

There′s killers behind us

Devils ahead send protection

 

I will drown in this city

I will drown in this trench

Built for us

 

And the only thing left

Yeah the only thing left

Is the running

 

And these clouds keep on rolling

And I I don′t know why

 

Take this guitar right out of my hands

 

I surrender

This town don′t want drunkards

Or singers of bad poetry

 

They want dancing and drugs and laughter

And we don′t have them

 

Just pray for us

Pray for sunshine

These days are cold

And I′m missing you

 

This letter was meant for your eyes

Destroy it and then just go hide

 

You′re the only thing left

That makes any sense

 

Please don′t blow it
