Pray

i think these lyrics are incredible, and "hungry bird" is hugely underrated. many seem to think it lacks the usual "depth" to be found in a clem snide album, but i think maybe some people have their minds made up too soon. i don't know. it simply isn't true.

what is this--where did the old lyrics go? these aren't correct.

pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer

and pray his heartfelt searching fails to navigate the twisted trails pray on him the golden light not shine and pray his guard dogs lose the scent the snakes find shelter in his tent pray the puddles reach beyond his knees

pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer

pray the shiny metal tools lay rusting in his swimming pool and pray the water never wash him clean pray his daughters long to feel a stranger's hand to break the seal and pray the bed sheets tied in stubborn knots

pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer pray for the non believer

pray the darkness eats his life behind his eyelids, painted white pray that a hungry bird consumes his heart pray that a hungry bird consumes his heart

when somebody loves you it's no good, it's no good, it's no good unless he loves you all of the way and when somebody loves you it's no good, it's no good, it's no good unless he loves you all the way, all the way
