Prayer For The Paranoid Lyrics - Singles - Mojave 3

I'll send you a letter 

From the front line 

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
