For Prayer

All this dirt is my disease
Please, Please
Wanted hands but I got knees
You drop by to help me out
Out, Out
Baby, what's all this about?
You thought you're better than you were
I wanted beast but I got bird
There's no room and there's not time
So you scratch yours and I'll scratch mine
Sinned to, a way to a body tied
I guess I do believe in God
But I'll forgive and make it right
If it freezes up tonight
So cross your fingers say a prayer
You don't believe but I don't care
You either win it or you don't
It happens now, unless it won't
Cross your fingers, say a prayer
You don't believe but I don't care
You either win it or you don't
It happens now, unless it won't
