Prayer For You Lyrics by Walkabouts

When you burn your kingdom
When you burn your kingdom
Through the ashes I will come
Through the ashes I will come
I know it makes no difference
I know it makes no difference
But I cant leave ya to your fun
But I cant leave ya to your fun
Usin up your torch song gifts
Usin up your torch song gifts
Why do you rush the end along?
Why do you rush the end along?
Actin like youll soon forget
Actin like youll soon forget
The end is comin on its own
The end is comin on its own
Just this once
Just this once
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
Though I wont pretend to help
Though I wont pretend to help
Just this once
Just this once
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
Burnin up the floorboards
Burnin up the floorboards
Burned every place you stood
Burned every place you stood
Every second chance: firewood
Every second chance: firewood
Bad luck is a famous name
Bad luck is a famous name
For what you brought yourself
For what you brought yourself
And Im too dumb to help
And Im too dumb to help
Just this once
Just this once
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
Though I wont pretend Im right
Though I wont pretend Im right
If you ask
If you ask
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
They say the city dont give up
They say the city dont give up
And I believe thats true (dont you? )
And I believe thats true (dont you? )
Ricochets from boom to bust
Ricochets from boom to bust
Like most of us
Like most of us
Who never cared enough...
Who never cared enough...
Just this once
Just this once
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
Though I wont pretend Im right
Though I wont pretend Im right
If you ask
If you ask
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
In the middle of the street
In the middle of the street
I will stop
I will stop
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
If thats what you really want
If thats what you really want
I will stop...
I will stop...
Ill say a prayer for you
Ill say a prayer for you
In the middle of the street...
In the middle of the street...
