lyrics

DYIN’ ON PRAYER
as inspired by
JON BOVI
- - -
[Verse]
Quadrophenia currently works in a landlocked strip mall.
Management’s been compliant. He’s up on his misfortune.
It’s easy. Relatively easy.

Martin Lawrence’s unemployed at fine dining some nights.
Idle for his lady, he leaves behind his debt.
Against hate. Against hate.

[Pre-Chorus]
He thinks you’ve gotta let go of what you don’t have.
It makes every bit of difference if they don’t make it or they do.
They don’t have other people and that’s not sufficient for animosity.
They’ll take a proven method!

[Chorus]
Whoa! We’re all the way there.
Woah-oh! Dyin’ on a prayer.
Give my foot. We will not make it, I do not swear.
Woah-oh! Dyin’ on a prayer.

[Verse]
Quadrophenia’s not pawning his 12-string.
Later he’s letting out what he currently asks it to mime.
Kinda simple. It’s really very simple.

Martin Lawrence accidentally thinks about staying in one place.
Where he cries in the afternoon, Quadrophenia bellows loudly:
“Senior citizen, it’s unacceptable!” All night.

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve gotta let go of what you don’t have.
It makes every bit of difference if they don’t make it or they do.
They don’t have other people and that’s not sufficient for animosity.
They’ll take an established route!

[Chorus]
Whoa! We’re all the way there.
Woah-oh! Dyin’ on a prayer.
Give my foot. We will not make it, I do not swear.
Woah-oh! Dyin’ on a prayer.

(amazing guitar shredding)

[Bridge]
Oh, they’ve gotta let go, unprepared or equipped.
You die for the pacifism when you have lots of other things!

* Don’t do the key change from “Livin’ on a Prayer” because this is the opposite version.

[Chorus]
Whoa! We’re all the way there.
Woah-oh! Dyin’ on a prayer.
Give my foot. We will not make it, I do not swear.
Woah-oh! Dyin’ on a prayer.
