I Pray When I'm Drunk - Robyn Hitchcock

Well I pray when I’m drunk

I pray for guidance

To get me from the sewer where I am

Yeah, I don’t know who to

I pray to someone

To get me on my way and give a damn

Yeah, I pray when I’m drunk

Pray when I’m sober

I’m grateful for the man that I’ve become

Yeah, I swarm with the bees and I ooze with the mackerel

And I think about you every time I strum

Some things can change

Somethings you cannot change

All things are strange

Yeah I pray when I’m drunk

I feel the hammer

Of judgment as it smashes on my soul

Yeah I’m glad that I’m drunk

I feel more open to spiritual leanings that I hold

Yeah I’m glad when I’m drunk

Glad when I’m sober

I’m grateful for the hangover that’s gone

And I’m grateful for you

And all the pickings

From the carcass of the life that I came from

From the carcass of the life that I came from
