Lyrics for Prayer for the Paranoid

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 loose 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 Boilt 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 out of my hands I surrender This town don't need drunkcards Or singers of bad poetry They need 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
