Poor Man's Prayer
It ain't happening
It's time to give it up
It's a hard comedown
Getting run outta town
And no one give a fuck
Caught on a ferris wheel
For about a year
Just when you clear the clouds
Life kicks you out
And knocks you down a tear
God we both know
You owe me a favor
I've been serving time
Getting by on good behavior
Now the rope's is fraying thin
The road is getting steep
The dogs are hungry
They're showing their teeth
It's all fun and games
Till one day it's not
You sell your memories
To keep out the rot
While the robbers sleep
Warm in their beds
While my heart breaks
Again and again
I don't know what I'm saying
This is a poor man's way of praying
Stranded in the woods
With a dwindling flare
Narrowly scraping by
On a poor man's praying
It dulls the edge
Widens the ledge
Soften the concretes
There's ice in my veins
Sparks in my brain
Pushing me to my brink
God we both know
You owe me a favor
I've been serving time
Getting by on good behavior
Now the rope's is fraying thin
The road is getting steep
The dogs are hungry
They're showing their teeth
It's all fun and games
Till one day it's not
You sell your memories
To keep out the rot
While the robbers sleep
Warm in their beds
While my heart breaks
Again and again
I don't know what I'm saying
This is a poor man's way of praying
God we both know
You owe me a favor
I've been serving time
Getting by on good behavior
Now the rope's is fraying thin
The road is getting steep
The dogs are hungry
They're showing their teeth
It's all fun and games
Till one day it's not
You sell your memories
To keep out the rot
While the robbers sleep
Warm in their beds
While my heart breaks
Again and again
I don't know what to say
Or even what I'm saying
But if you can hear me now
This is a poor man's way of praying
It's time to give it up
It's a hard comedown
Getting run outta town
And no one give a fuck
Caught on a ferris wheel
For about a year
Just when you clear the clouds
Life kicks you out
And knocks you down a tear
God we both know
You owe me a favor
I've been serving time
Getting by on good behavior
Now the rope's is fraying thin
The road is getting steep
The dogs are hungry
They're showing their teeth
It's all fun and games
Till one day it's not
You sell your memories
To keep out the rot
While the robbers sleep
Warm in their beds
While my heart breaks
Again and again
I don't know what I'm saying
This is a poor man's way of praying
Stranded in the woods
With a dwindling flare
Narrowly scraping by
On a poor man's praying
It dulls the edge
Widens the ledge
Soften the concretes
There's ice in my veins
Sparks in my brain
Pushing me to my brink
God we both know
You owe me a favor
I've been serving time
Getting by on good behavior
Now the rope's is fraying thin
The road is getting steep
The dogs are hungry
They're showing their teeth
It's all fun and games
Till one day it's not
You sell your memories
To keep out the rot
While the robbers sleep
Warm in their beds
While my heart breaks
Again and again
I don't know what I'm saying
This is a poor man's way of praying
God we both know
You owe me a favor
I've been serving time
Getting by on good behavior
Now the rope's is fraying thin
The road is getting steep
The dogs are hungry
They're showing their teeth
It's all fun and games
Till one day it's not
You sell your memories
To keep out the rot
While the robbers sleep
Warm in their beds
While my heart breaks
Again and again
I don't know what to say
Or even what I'm saying
But if you can hear me now
This is a poor man's way of praying
