A Prayer for the Dying

[Chorus (Jill Campbay)]
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost

[Post-Chorus (Petrus)]
Yeah, well, I remember it like this
Then who am I, if I'm not who I am?
You gotta understand that this one goes to them
Who doesn't think for themself
Drop

[Verse 1 (Petrus)]
Still waiting like a death patrol in the house, son
God made me cruel like the worst one
Later on I made out, became an ex-con
Will somebody tell me stop?
Ain't no hanging like a prayer
I wanna be truth with the ones over there, fair
Ripped the runs of my life every day
No time for time, this is what I say

[Chorus (Jill Campbay)]
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost

[Verse 2 (Petrus, Jill Campbay)]
Watch out for the ones over there, the pray's so fair
I may be down but my ass is in the air
Watch out, I couldn't go below the hole
You made me sick, uh, uh
What's up with you now?
I cannot reach you, baby, can't you get enough?
Yeah, right, but then I had to have a little fun
Before you make a prayer 'cause I just begun

[Chorus (Jill Campbay)]
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost

[Verse 3 (Petrus, Jill Campbay)]
Hell yeah, whatever goes up will come down
Same old shit, Petrus's in town (town)
Still knockin' the boot with the fellas, Katie, Joaquin, Emperine
And of course me, but I can't understand it
Why you let yourself go on the life you do?
I know where the man is
I work it out nine to five just to stay alive

[Chorus (Jill Campbay)]
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost
A prayer for the dying of the love
They fall into lonely souls
A prayer for the crying of the love
Who won't find their ghost
