Alice Cooper

Stolen Prayer

1. I walk the streets alone on feeble bones I ride

my sins are eched in stoneI got no place to hide

well, I was unshakablein what I did believe

I feel so breakablebut have I been deceived

2. You showed me your paradiseand your carnival of souls

but my heart keeps telling methat ain't the place to go

well, I'm not invincibleso I want you to leave

well, I'm so convinciblebut have I been deceived

R: I take your words and try them onyeah, it's a perfect fit, boy

you tell me one size fits us allyeah, like an old straight jacket

well, tell me why I'm so afraid

all my words are spoken

3. I remember yesterdaywhen things were black and white

never thought I'd get confusedon what was wrong and right

well, I'm not unbreakable with armor on my skin

well, it's not unthinkableI could be fooled again

R: Well, I take your words and try them onyeah...

(Solo)

You steal another minute of my lifeyou cut a little deeper with your knife

you steal a little breath from my airand you don't care

Eb Db

and even though I'm chokin'all my words are spoken

I take your words and try them onyeah, it's a perfect fit, boy

you tell me one size fits us allyeah, like an old straightjacket

take this world and try it onman, you're lookin' good boy

stick you neck out on the blockso you won't miss nothing

stretch your finger, grab your hairdon't you feel like screaming

feel the blood rush from your veinsnow you're a perfect zombie

now I'm down on my knees

all my words are spoken

Ab Eb
