Lyrics
Cautious gamblers at the height of their return
tip their glasses with the sacrificial burn
They come in droves with prescriptions for pain
reciting scripture for the ones that remain
Say a prayer tonight
Say a prayer for the first time in your life
Say a prayer for the ones I never liked
Say a prayer for the last time in my life
Junked up rascals on the high road to dawn
filling the air with their sacrificial pawns
Falling heavy on the curb like a bag of leaves
the weight of days must be some kind of disease
Say a prayer tonight
Say a prayer for the first time in your life
