Frank Black - Pray For The Girls lyrics

Last night I had the strangest dream Saw everybody running in the streets Leapfrogging salmon trying to get upstream The dream was over but I could not sleep I had to put on the lights when she said that Last night I had the strangest dream The sky was dark and I could not see Felt underwater when I tried to scream When I heard the rooster I was finally free I was a little bit frightened when he said that Last night I had the strangest dream Me and the chickens running in the streets We met a monkey with an eye that gleamed He drew that line we couldn't move our beaks A doggie woke me and he said hey rooster Last night I had the strangest dream The war was over and I had no peace The moon was waning so it wasn't the beams It's just a dream but I have no peace I eavesdropped on my masters they said that Last night we had the strangest dream It was disturbing, oh, what does it mean? Monkey in a turban, oh, what does it mean? Last night we had the strangest dream We better go to the mayor, then we drove Downtown to have a talk with the mayor He told my masters uh, oh, can't you see? What we have here is a prophecy Cross your fingers people say a prayer I'm not a religious dog but I say that Better pray for the girls Better pray for the girls Ain't no other hope in this whole world In sleep we searched behind the sun A funny place to find someone We did not find them on the moon We dreamed that's where they disappeared We dreamed perhaps another pearl Or dangling on some other dune But darker dreams we fear Where'd you go this time, girls? Better pray for the girls Better pray for the girls Ain't no other hope in this whole world
