So you will say your prayers,

and you'll drive on with your devil may care,

and I hope that when you're finally there,

you won't need anything,



well your angels are rising but their spirits may fall

and your eyes must be tired from seeing it all,

'cause you're staring a hole in the writing on the wall,

and you don't see anything.



Why would you keep living like that?

I just don't know.

Life won't just keep giving like that.

no, no, no, no...



you're mad at the morning sun in your eyes,

and you're ruthless with roses at sunset and vine,

and the devil you know has been feeding you lines,

so you won't say anything...

and you don't say anything. 



Why would you keep living like that

I just don't know

Life won't just keep giving like that

no, no, no, no...



it's too much for me to let by

you just keep living that lie

and living it down

so much for making it right

you can't keep changing you're mind and begging for forgiveness.



Why would you keep living like that

I just don't know

Life don't just keep giving like that

no, no, no, no...

I thought you were smarter than that

what did I know

Life won't just keep giving like that

no, no, no, no...



So you will say your prayers,

and you'll drive on with your devil may care,

and I hope that when you're finally there,

you won't need anything,
