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 armor 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
You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
And you don't care
And even though 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 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
Stolen prayer - the last temptation, 1994 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 armor 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 You cut a little deeper with your knife You steal a little breath from my air And you don't care And even though 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 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 Explain Request ×
