Bad English Rebel Say A Prayer
Songwriters: Cain, Jonathan; Ballard, Russ; Waite, John;In the midnight rain Johnny throws a stance
Says, "Love me tender, love me true"
And in the doorway there, she looks up at him
And she says, "You know I do"
But Johnny?s on the run, 'cause he stole a gun
He needs to disappear
Johnny shot a man and now he?s scared
She whispers in his ear
Rebel say a prayer
That there?s a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And we?ll be free
There?s glory waiting there
Can feel it in the air
Rebel say a prayer
I?ll meet you there
Johnny pulls her close, says, "I?ve got to go
'Cause they?ll come for me tonight"
And he turns to leave but she won?t let go
And they stand there in the light
Baby where you go, that?s where I will go
Love never seemed so clear
If it?s the last thing in the world we do
We?ve gotta get out of here
Rebel say a prayer
That there?s a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And we?ll be free
Where Cadillacs have wings
A place where Elvis sings
For you and me
So baby take my hand
We?ll find the promised land
Above the stars tonight
There?s Graceland waitin? there
Believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayer
And the cops are waiting down the street
They both know that there?s no way out
Johnny pulls his gun
And all hell breaks loose
She cries, "I'll remember this"
As they're cut down in the final kiss
Rebel say a prayer
That there?s a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And we?ll be free
Where Cadillacs have wings
A place where Elvis sings
For you and me
So baby take my hand
We?ll find the promised land
Above the stars tonight
There?s Graceland waitin? there
Believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayer
Rebel say a prayer
Above the stars tonight
If you dare
Rebel say a prayer
And I?ll meet you there
Rebel say a prayer
I?ll meet you there, yeah
