letra de praying to the wrong one - pat orchard

Loading...

there’s a fly that buzzes round me
nothing i can do
cos the fly is just a memory
a memory coloured blue
i’m staring at the ceiling
feeling very old
pulling on the rizlas
blowing smoke rings round a bulb

there’s going to be h-ll to pay in heaven
when i get there
cos i’ll say lord lord lord
where was my share?

i try to remember
all the faces and the names
of all those long gone lovers
who’ve shared my cotton plains
and my eyes are full of longing
my belly full of drink

bottled up inside all the things that i think
there’s going to be h-ll to pay in heaven
when i get there
cos i’ll say lord lord lord
where was my share?

(but if you lie down with the dogs
you’ll get up with the fleas
and being a missionary is kind upon the knees
sell your soul to the devil
the devil leads you on
then you find out you’ve they’ve been praying
you find out you’ve been praying
to the wrong one!)

so i’m weighing up my life
like a butcher selling meat
and pound for bl–dy pound
it all seems so cheap
cutting through the muscles
sticking needles in a vein
i’m exposing all my nerves to you
but i just can’t ease the pain

there’s going to be h-ll to pay in heaven
when i get there
cos i’ll say lord lord lord
where was my share?
