"Prayer for the Dying" Lyrics

Iron Maiden
No Prayer For The Dying
Holy Smoke
BELIEVE IN ME SEND NO MONEY
I DIED ON THE CROSS AND THAT AIN'T FUNNY
BUT MY SO CALLED FRIENDS THEY'RE MAKING ME A JOKE
THEY MISSED OUT WHAT I SAID LIKE I NEVER SPOKE
THEY CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANNA HEAR THEY DON'T TELL A LIE
THEY JUST LEAVE OUT THE TRUTH AS THEY'RE WATCHING YOU DIE
THEY'RE SAVING YOUR SOULS BY TAKING YOUR MONEY
FLIES AROUND SHIT BEES AROUND HONEY
CHORUS
HOLY SMOKE HOLY SMOKE
THERE'S PLENTY BAD PREACHERS FOR THE DEVIL TO STOKE
FEED 'EM IN FEET FIRST THIS IS NO JOKE
THIS IS THIRSTY WORK MAKING HOLY SMOKE YEAH
MAKING HOLY SMOKE
JIMMY REPTILE AND ALL HIS FRIENDS
SAY THEY GONNA BE WITH YOU AT THE END
BURNING RECORDS BURNING BOOKS
HOLY SOLDIERS NAZI LOOKS
CROCODILE SMILES JUST WAIT A WHILE
TILL THE TV QUEEN GETS HER MAKE-UP CLEAN
I'VE LIVED IN FILTH I'VE LIVED IN SIN
AND I STILL SMELL CLEANER THAN THE SHIT YOU'RE IN
REPEAT CHORUS
HOLY SMOKE
SMELLS GOOD
THEY AIN'T RELIGIOUS BUT THEY AIN'T NO FOOLS
WHEN NOAH BUILT HIS CADILLAC IT WAS COOL
TWO BY TWO THEY'RE STILL GOING DOWN
AND THE SATELLITE CIRCUS JUST LEFT TOWN
I THINK THEY'RE STRANGE AND WHEN THEY'RE DEAD
THEY CAN HAVE A LINCOLN FOR THEIR BED
FRIEND OF THE PRESIDENT TRICK OF THE TAIL

NOW THEY AIN'T GOT A PRAYER 100 YEARS IN JAIL
REPEAT CHORUS
HOLY SMOKE
HAH

NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING

(HARRIS)

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'VE WONDERED
AND TIMES WHEN I'VE CRIED
WHEN MY PRAYERS THEY WERE ANSWERED
AT TIMES WHEN I'VE LIED
BUT IF YOU ASKED ME A QUESTION
WOULD I TELL YOU TRUTH
NOW THERE'S SOMETHING TO BET ON
YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE

WHEN I'VE SAT BY THE WINDOW
AND GAZED AT THE RAIN
WITH AN ACHE IN MY HEART
BUT NEVER FEELING THE PAIN
AND IF YOU WOULD TELL ME
JUST WHAT MY LIFE MEANS
WALKING A LONG ROAD
NEVER REACHING THE END

GOD GIVE ME THE ANSWER TO MY LIFE
GOD GIVE ME THE ANSWER TO MY DREAMS
GOD GIVE ME THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS
GOD GIVE ME THE ANSWER TO MY BEING
