Pray For The Girls Lyrics - Frank Black

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
