Prayin' To A God

(album: Helpyourselfish - 1995)

Yeah, I know I'm in trouble
A case of the unkindest kind
But I resent being reminded
About what's already on my mind
When hope beats high
And I wake up with a sleepy grin
The dream I fell asleep to
Just blew up; I know I never win
I'm praying to a god who always says
I'm praying to a god who always says: no
I'm down on my knees for crying out low
I'm praying to a god that always says: no
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is nothing but the burglar alarm
Praying to a god that always says
I'm praying to a god that always says: no

As if each drop of rain is trying to get at me
Yeah, the joke's over
And it feels as though my heart's empty
And I can't sleep from hearing
All the things I never said
Because the dream I fell asleep to
Is just a cloud above my head
I'm praying to a god who always says
I'm praying to a god who always says: no
I'm down on my knees for crying out low
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is nothing but the burglar alarm
Praying to a god that always says
I'm praying to a god that always says: no

Yeah, I know, like a shadow when the sun is gone
And it seems the things I wait for never comes
I need someone to believe in me
Yeah, I need someone to throw blue sky at me
Praying to a god who always says
I'm praying to a god who always says: no
Praying to a god who always says
Praying to a god that always says
I'm praying to a god who always says: no
Praying to a god who always says
Yeah, to a god that always says: no
Yeah, I'm down on my knees for crying out low
I'm praying to a god that always says: no
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is nothing but the burglar alarm
The god who always says: no
To the god who always says: no
To the god who always says: no
