Idiot Prayer |
| They’re taking me down, my friend |
| And as they usher me off to my end |
| Will I bid you adieu? |
| Or will I be seeing you soon? |
| If what they say around here is true |
| Then we’ll meet again |
| Me and you |
| My time is at hand, my dove |
| They’re gonna pass me to that house above |
| Is heaven just for victims, dear? |
| Where only those in pain go? |
| Well it takes two to tango |
| We will meet again, my love |
| I know |
| If you’re in heaven then you’ll forgive me, dear |
| Because that’s what they do up there |
| If you’re in hell, then what can I say |
| You probably deserved in anyway |
| I guess I’m gonna find out any day |
| For we’ll meet again |
| And there’ll be hell to pay |
| Your face comes to me from the depths, dear |
| Your silent mouth mouths, 'yes', dear |
| Dark red and big with blood |
| They’re gonna shut me down, my love |
| They’re gonna launch me into the stars |
| Well, all things come to pass |
| Glory hallelujah |
| This prayer is for you, my love |
| Sent on the wings of a dove |
| An idiot prayer of empty words |
| Love, dear, is strictly for the birds |
| We each get what we deserve |
| My little snow white dove |
| Rest assured |
