Moonlit Prayer |
| These evenings soaked with dreams hung on the lines of eternity |
| Stephanie and me we were caught in the light of reality |
| Fixed on a star like a candle hangin' above me |
| I’m never gonna stray too far from my savior in second hand blue jeans |
| It’s a losing proposition when you’re born on this block |
| Your eyes can’t move and your legs can’t talk |
| I can’t even begin to explain the staleness in the air |
| We were just two lost souls gettin' wasted on a moonlit prayer |
| Conner and Des sat there so statuesque |
| On barstools leanin' forward lookin' in need of some rest |
| The accordion player with that jagged one eyed smile |
| Said «I'm gonna take a little break and I’ll be back in just a while» |
| While the old songs of Ireland disappeared into the walls |
| The bandit boy was carvin' his perversions in the stalls |
| Stumblin' to the street he walked away like he didn’t have a care |
| He was dressed like poisonous sunlight wishin' on a moonlit prayer |
| Detroit Junior was in a mid life scheme |
| Another aberration to his real life dream |
| Slippin' and slidin' and a skatin' with the best |
| He was always on the corner with Connie in her Guatemalan vest |
| Tellin' tales of when he was a singer right before the war |
| He’ll never get a chance to tell us why he kicked that chair to the floor |
| Some kids were at the quarry last night they said hey saw his ghost with fire |
| in his hair |
| He was dancin' on the water… |
| Under a moonlit prayer |
| There’s balconies and barbers and a mistress in the door |
| There’s a shrine of faith in the window upon the second floor |
| At the bottom of the hamper is where all of Earl’s money is stashed |
| And the marks upon the wall mark the day since she’s passed |
| The supermarket junkies are out on parade |
| With their nickels in their pockets |
| And their bottles of Chardonnay |
| Smashing those broken bottles and those bodies into the walls of despair |
| Disappearing down the alley |
| Lost in a moonlit prayer |
| Stephanie accept me just the way I am |
| For my love is one of limits and of things that I don’t understand |
| In this nameless town and a tainted crown I’m a king without a throne |
| But I still get overcome with doubt in these nights all alone |
| I’ve been lookin' for a sign babe, I haven’t got a clue |
| If you surrender your heart to me |
| I’ll surrender mine to you |
| Imagine the two of us riding bareback in the distance on a silk white mare |
| We’ll disappear into the sky |
| Chasin' a moonlit prayer |
