Moonlit Prayer
These evenings soaked with dreams hung on the lines of eternityStephanie and me we were caught in the light of realityFixed on a star like a candle hangin' above meI'm never gonna stray too far from my savior in second hand blue jeansIt's a losing proposition when you're born on this blockYour eyes can't move and your legs can't talkI can't even begin to explain the staleness in the airWe were just two lost souls gettin' wasted on a moonlit prayerConner and Des sat there so statuesqueOn barstools leanin' forward lookin' in need of some restThe accordion player with that jagged one eyed smileSaid "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 wallsThe bandit boy was carvin' his perversions in the stallsStumblin' to the street he walked away like he didn't have a careHe was dressed like poisonous sunlight wishin' on a moonlit prayerDetroit Junior was in a mid life schemeAnother aberration to his real life dreamSlippin' and slidin' and a skatin' with the bestHe was always on the corner with Connie in her Guatemalan vestTellin' tales of when he was a singer right before the warHe'll never get a chance to tell us why he kicked that chair to the floorSome kids were at the quarry last night they said hey saw his ghost with fire in his hairhe was dancin' on the water.....Letras de cancionesUnder a moonlit prayerThere's balconies and barbers and a mistress in the doorThere's a shrine of faith in the window upon the second floorAt the bottom of the hamper is where all of Earl's money is stashedAnd the marks upon the wall mark the day since she's passedThe supermarket junkies are out on paradeWith their nickels in their pocketsAnd their bottles of ChardonnaySmashing those broken bottles and those bodies into the walls of despairDisappearing down the alleyLost in a moonlit prayerStephanie accept me just the way I amFor my love is one of limits and of things that I don't understandIn this nameless town and a tainted crown I'm a king without a throneBut I still get overcome with doubt in these nights all aloneI've been lookin' for a sign babe, I haven't got a clueIf you surrender your heart to meI'll surrender mine to youImagine the two of us riding bareback in the distance on a silk white mareWe'll disappear into the skyChasin' a moonlit prayer From Letras Mania
