Stolen Prayer

Alice Cooper

1. I walk the streets alone on feeble bones I ride
   my sins are eched in stoneI got no place to hide
   well, I was unshakablein what I did believe
   I feel so breakablebut have I been deceived
   
2. You showed me your paradiseand your carnival of souls
   but my heart keeps telling methat ain't the place to go
   well, I'm not invincibleso I want you to leave
   well, I'm so convinciblebut have I been deceived

R: I take your words and try them onyeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
   you tell me one size fits us allyeah, like an old straight jacket
   well, tell me why I'm so afraid
   all my words are spoken
   all my words are spoken
   all my words are spoken
   in a stolen prayer

3. I remember yesterdaywhen things were black and white
   never thought I'd get confusedon what was wrong and right
   well, I'm not unbreakable with armor on my skin
   well, it's not unthinkableI could be fooled again

R: Well, I take your words and try them onyeah...

(Solo)

   You steal another minute of my lifeyou cut a little deeper with your knife
   you steal a little breath from my airand you don't care
   and even though I'm chokin'all my words are spoken
   
   I take your words and try them onyeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
   you tell me one size fits us allyeah, like an old straightjacket
   take this world and try it onman, you're lookin' good boy
   stick you neck out on the blockso you won't miss nothing
   stretch your finger, grab your hairdon't you feel like screaming
   feel the blood rush from your veinsnow you're a perfect zombie
   now I'm down on my knees
   all my words are spoken
   all my words are spoken
   all my words are spoken
   all my words are spoken
   all my words are spoken
   in a stolen prayer
