the raconteurs - thoughts and prayers lyrics
[verse 1]
how can the grim reaper creep
if he really doesn’t have the time?
and how long would you sleep
if the sun decided not to shine?
[verse 2]
there’s a man who lives up the block
he doesn’t even own a clock
sometimes he stays awake for days
he’s doin’ it his own way
[chorus]
i used to give my friends a call
now there’s no one left at all
i think my father used to say
“there’s got to be a different way
to make myself feel okay”
or maybe that’s just how he used to pray
[verse 3]
and who cares how people live
if living’s all they got?
and who knows how money grows?
drop a nickel in a pot
[verse 4]
i wrote a letter down to you
like i’m sullivan ballou
it’s a recipe for blue
like it’s 1862
[chorus]
maybe i’m just a castaway
or a poor boy led astray
there’s no one left here to betray
the only child of the earth
n-body left here to give birth
it’s hard to tell now what that’s worth
[instrumental break]
[chorus]
i used to look up at the sky
up at the beautiful blue sky
but now the earth has turned to gray
there’s got to be a better way
to talk to god and hear her say
“there are reasons why it is this way”
