Stolen Prayer (5:36)

(Chris Cornell, Alice Cooper)

I walk the streets alone on feeble bones I ride
My sins are etched in stone, I got no place to hide
Well, I was unshakable in what I did believe
I feel so breakable but have I been deceived

You showed me your paradise and your carnival of souls
But my heart keeps telling me that ain't the place to go
Well, I'm not invincible so I want you to leave
Well, I'm so convincible but have I been deceived

I take your words and try them on

Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
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

I remember yesterday when things were black and white
Never thought I'd get confused on what was wrong and right
Well, I'm not unbreakable with armour on my skin
Well, it's not unthinkable, I could be fooled again

I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
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

You steal another minute from my life, aha
You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
And you don't care
And even thought I'm chokin'
All my words are spoken

I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Take this world and try it on
Man, you're lookin' good boy
Stick your neck out on the block
So you won't miss nothing
Stretch your finger, grab your hair
Don't you feel like screaming
Feel the blood rush from your veins
Now 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
