Saints Lyrics

3 am, here I am, hitting the streets

Fists clenched on my head I beat

How could I let my principles be betrayed

Flash of light, gets my eyes on the alleyway

I feel like a Rembrandt in a gallery

Everybody's trying to get a look at me

No remorse, I decide to take back my land

Maybe in another life you'll understand

Can't keep on, when keeping on is so vain

I used to know a lady that made me pray

Now she laughs at me as she walks away

She never seemed to care much all the same

She always had her eyes open when she prayed

Quickly now, look around, we gotta go

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Seems like our plans just got rearranged

Not too long after, I made an appeal

To get to a safer place and then cut a deal

What was in that cocktail? Man I feel so strange

She never was able to get what I mean

She spent too many afternoons down on her knees

Praying for the Lord to come and take her away

I used to know a lady that made me pray

Now she laughs at me as she walks away

She never seemed to care too much all the same

She always had her eyes open when she prayed

I used to know a lady that made me pray

Now she laughs at me as she walks away

She never seemed to care too much all the same

She always had her eyes open when she prayed

Looking around, I decide on my getaway

Although there's a part of me that would rather stay

I guess I get a lot feeling from the fray

Heartbeat a pumping, thumping through my past

Trying to answer questions that I failed to ask

No reply only hesitation and dismay

They got the jump on me and now it's down to this

I gotta leave you now, give me one more kiss

And try to remember these were our finest days

I used to know a lady that made me pray

Now she laughs at me as she walks away

She never seemed to care too much all the same

She always had her eyes open when she prayed
