Devil Pray Lyrics

Take my sins and wash them away
Teach me how to pray
I've been stranded here in the dark
Take these walls away

I've been swimming in the ocean
Till I'm almost drowned
Give me something I can believe in
Teach me how to pray

And we can do drugs and we can smoke weed and we can drink whiskey
Yeah we can get high and we can get stoned
And we can sniff glue and we can do E and we can drop acid
Forever be lost with no way home

Yeah we can run and we can hide
But we won't find the answers
If you go down then you'll get help along the way
But if you wanna save your soul
Then we should travel all together
And make the Devil Pray

Ooo, save my soul, ooo, save my soul
Ooo, save my soul
Devil's here to fool ya

Ooo, save my soul, ooo, save my soul
Ooo, save my soul
Devil's here to fool ya

Ooo, save my, ooo, save my
Ooo, save my
Devil's here to fool ya

Ooo, save my, ooo, save my
Ooo, save my
Devil's here to fool ya

Mother Mary can't you help me
'Cause I've gone astray
All the angels that were around me
Have all flown away
The ground beneath my feet's getting warmer
Lucifer is near
Holding on, but I'm getting weaker
Watch me disappear

And we can do drugs and we can smoke weed and we can drink whiskey
Yeah we can get high and we can get stoned
And we can sniff glue and we can do E and we can drop acid
Forever be lost with no way home

Yeah we can run and we can hide
But we won't find the answers
If you go down then you'll get help along the way
But if you wanna save your soul
Then we should travel all together
And make the devil pray

Ooo ooo sing hallelujah
Ooo save my soul
Ooo ooo the devil's here to fool ya
Until my story is told

I said ooo ooo sing hallelujah
Ooo save my soul
Ooo ooo the devil's here to fool ya
Until my story is told

I said
Ooo, sing hallelujah, ooo
Until my story's told

Devil Pray Song Chart

This song finds Madonna pleading for a sign from God over an acoustic guitar. There are also a number of references to illegal substances. The singer explained to David Blaine during a chat for Interview Magazine, that the track was inspired by people's misguided use of drugs to connect with a higher being. "It's about how people take drugs to connect to God or to a higher level of consciousness," Madonna said. "I keep saying, 'Plugging into the matrix'. If you get high, you can do that, which is why a lot of people drop acid or do drugs, because they want to get closer to God."

"But there's going to be a short circuit, and that's the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you. They destroy you," she continued. "I mean, I tried everything once, but as soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system. As soon as I was high, I was obsessed with flushing it out of me. I was like, 'OK, I'm done now.'"

The song also has a message of seeking spirituality via togetherness. Madonna explained to Rolling Stone: "The way we're going to change the world, or the way we're going to ultimately feel joy, is through unity. I'm certainly not encouraging religious behavior; when I say people are thinking in a religious way, I think they're thinking about rules and dogma and laws that separate. When I say spirituality, I mean a consciousness that has an understanding that we are all in this together, that we are all one. We have to find a way to feel joy and to bring joy to the world together. That ultimately is with consciousness, not drugs."

Ghosttown Lyrics

Maybe it was all too much
Too much for a man to take
Everything's bound to break
Sooner or later, sooner or later

You're all that I can trust
Facing the darkest days
Everyone ran away
But we're gonna stay here, we're gonna stay here

Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I know you're scared tonight
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I'll never leave your side

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a Ghosttown

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

Tell me how we got this far
Every man for himself
Everything's gone to hell
We gotta stay strong, we're gonna hold on

This world has turned to dust
All we've got left is love
Might as well start with us
Singing a new song, something to build on

Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I know you're scared tonight
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
I'll never leave your side

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

I know we're alright
'Cause we'll never be alone
In this mad mad, in this mad mad world
Even with no light
We're gonna shine like gold
In this mad mad, in this mad mad world

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown

Ghosttown Song Chart

Madonna wrote this power ballad with Sean Douglas and Jason Evigan, who worked together on Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack" and Jason DeRulo's "Talk Dirty." The other co-writer was Evan Bogart, whose credits include Beyonce's "Halo" and Rihanna's "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)."

Madonna told Billboard magazine the story of the song. "We all get into a room together. They start playing their chords and then we just start thinking about… When I write with people, we always try to come up with a theme. What do we want to write about? So this one is about the city after Armageddon. The burnt out city, the crumbling buildings, the smoke that's still lingering after the fire. You know what I mean? There's only a few people left. How do we pick up the pieces and go on from here? Kind of dramatic. (Laughs.) But not entirely impossible at this stage of the game."

The song is about seeing hope amidst the destruction: "At the end of the day, if we run out of oil and we don't have electricity and we don't have all the modern conveniences, and we have no phones and computers, all we're going to have is each other, is humans," Madonna explained to Rolling Stone. "And that song's about recognizing that."

The track was written in three days after Madonna personally requested some studio time with the three songwriters. "She liked 'Talk Dirty,' actually, and so they put me and Jason Evigan and Evan Bogart in with her and we had this great session," Sean Douglas told Billboard magazine. "I was incredibly nervous for obvious reasons, but she showed up, was super personable and was ready to work. I basically checked it off my life bucket list."

The apocalyptic music video starts off with Madonna holed up in a bunker amid nuclear destruction. After she leaves her compound to explore the bombed-out world, she runs into Empire actor Terrance Howard. Ironically, when Madonna's Rebel Heart was released in March 2015, it was blocked from #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart by the soundtrack to the first season of Empire.

Jonas Škerlund directed the clip. He's worked with Madonna on the videos for several of her previous singles including the ones for like "Ray Of Light" "American Life" and "Music."

This was Madonna's 45th #1 on the Dance Club Songs chart. The song's ascent to the peak position meant that the Queen of Pop overtook George Strait's 44 chart-toppers on Country Songs to tally the most #1s of any artist on a single Billboard chart.

Bitch I'm Madonna Song Chart

This spunky girl-power track finds Madonna collaborating with Nicki Minaj and thumbing her nose at naysayers. The Queens rapper previously had two features on Madonna's MDNA set: "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and "I Don't Give A."

Madonna told Rolling Stone that it's an equal partnership when she collaborates with Nicki Minaj. "Whenever we work together she always sits with me and listens to the song, and says 'tell me what this song is about to you,'" she explained. "She's very methodical in her thinking. We talk about it, she writes down words that I say describing what the song's about and the sentiment that I'd like her to get out there, and then she goes away and she works on it. She writes it, she comes back. She does a version of it, we talk about it. It's a back and forth until she gets it right. It's a total collaboration."

Rebel Heart finds Madonna using the b-word a lot (one of the other tracks is titled "Unapologetic Bitch"). Asked by Billboard magazine about her use of the offensive slang pejorative, Madonna replied: "The word 'bitch' means a lot of different things. Everything is about context. When I first moved to England and heard the word 'c--t,' I was horrified. People were calling each other c--ts! And then I realized that, in that culture, it was different - they slapped each other on the back and said, 'Who's the c--t, right, you're my best mate!'"

"The word 'f--k' doesn't just mean sexual intercourse," she continued. "I mean, 'You're a stupid f--k,' 'Are you going to f--k with me?' 'F--k off!' (Laughs.) Sex has nothing to do with any of those expressions, and the same goes for 'bitch.' If I say to you, 'I'm a badass bitch,' I'm owning myself, I'm saying, 'I'm strong, I'm tough, and don't mess with me.' If I say, 'Why are you being such a bitch to me?,' well, that means something else."

The song was produced by Diplo, one of seven tracks they wrote and recorded together for Rebel Heart. Diplo told Mojo magazine: "I hadn't really listened to her recent albums but I knew her classic material. We wrote a lot of things - like seven or eight songs together. She said, 'Give me something crazy,' and that's when we made Bitch I'm Madonna."

The song's music video was directed by Madonna's longtime collaborator Jonas Akerlund and styled by his wife B. Škerlund. The epic clip was filmed on the top floors of the Standard Hotel in Manhattan and finds Madonna dancing her way from room to room.

The Queen of Pop opened her Rolodex to surround herself with famous names for the clip. She passes by other party goers, which includes such familiar faces as producer Diplo, designer Alexander Wang, singer Rita Ora and comedian Chris Rock. There are also a number of pre-recorded clips featuring Kanye West, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj while Madonna's sons, Rocco and David Banda, are also seen dancing.

Jonas Škerlund, who also shot Madonna's "Ghosttown" video told Entertainment Weekly filming the clip was a totally unique experience. "Madonna called me about 'Ghosttown,'" he recalled. "We hadn't worked for a while because of different circumstances so when I heard all the songs [on Rebel Heart], I was very excited about 'Ghosttown.' I connected to it creatively. And, yeah, we enjoyed working together. I was supposed to start something else right after and that got pushed and she asked me to do 'Bitch I'm Madonna.' I saw it being so completely different from 'Ghosttown,' something a little bit less serious, just fun and crazy."

Škerlund detailed how he managed his crew, which was comprised of 100 people. "It was fun! That's the only way to do it really," he said. "But it was technical. Everybody needed to be on their place and do their job. Everyone had cues and everyone was ready. And when we left the shoot, we thought, 'If the video feels half as good as we feel, then it's a homerun.'"

The song was Madonna's first Hot 100 hit since "Give Me All Your Luvin'" peaked at #10 in 2012. However, there was one previous composition prior to the Queen of Pop's cut with "Madonna" in its title that charted. An outfit called The Beatles (you may have heard of them) peaked at #4 with "Lady Madonna" in 1968. In addition Robbie Williams had a Top 20 hit in the UK with the Per Shop Boys-featuring "She's Madonna" in 2006.

This features production work from the British electronic musician Sophie, who has worked closely with artists from the London PC Music label. "I think Madonna's manager was like, 'Who is this person?' and I was like, 'Trust me, this is very cool to have him be part of this song,'" Diplo recalled to Time. "PC Music is a really post-modern attempt at pop. It's something the kids are generating because everything is so clean as far dance music [is concerned]."

Iconic Lyrics

Yeah

If you try to fuck it up again
Destiny will choose you in the end
If you don't make the choice
And you don't use your voice
Someone else will speak for you instead
What you want is just within your reach
But you gotta practice what you preach
If you use sweat and tears
And overcome your fears
Never let the fire inside you leave

I can, Icon, two letters apart
One step, away, of being lost in the dark
Just shine your light like a beautiful star
Show the world who you are
Who you are

Yeah
There's another part of you no one sees
There's a burning fire that's underneath
Baby don't you know you were meant to be
Born to be
Meant to be
Iconic

Tell me I'm no good and I'll be great
Say I have to fight and I can't wait
Standing in the wings
A butterfly that stings
I will rise above cause it's my fate

I can, Icon, two letters apart
One step, away, of being lost in the dark
Just shine your light like a beautiful star
Show the world who you are
Who you are

Yeah
There's another part of you no one sees
There's a burning fire that's underneath
Baby don't you know you were meant to be
Born to be
Meant to be
Iconic

Born to be a superstar
That's exactly what you are
Born to be a superstar
That's exactly what you are

Alright
Firefly chain, wanna catch you
Wanna put you in a net for their light glow
Yellow brick high way, paparazzi pile-up on the high road
They just turned the sun into an idol
They just wanna see how high the sky go
Just to find how it feel to fall bad
Madonna said I remind her of Michael
Steady blowing up my head, blowing up my head
Put it on your wall
Put me in the school book, put me in the laws
Put me in a descant in the Synagogue
Firefly gold, wanna catch ya
Wanna catch you when your lights go dim
Wanna turn you to a letter in their logo
Wanna stick you in a jar with a pen
You're a icon

I can, Icon, two letters apart
One step, away, of being lost in the dark
Just shine your light like a beautiful star
Show the world who you are
Who you are

Yeah
There's another part of you no one sees
There's a burning fire that's underneath
Baby don't you know you were meant to be
Born to be
Meant to be
Iconic, ironic

Mike Tyson (yes, that Mike Tyson!) introduces this song with a boastful spoken word segment. Speaking to Rolling Stone about his contribution, Tyson revealed his curious inspiration. "When I did it, I think about being some guy like [Benito] Mussolini and they're really arrogant, but you try to come from a positive perspective and be uplifting," he said. "You watch Mussolini on television — even though we don't understand what he's saying — he is so mesmerizing. I look at myself in that way."

"I know people may say, 'This guy's a fascist' and all this stuff, but man, you can take positivity from watching him," Tyson added. "No wonder why Hitler was attracted to him. This guy's a hypnotic figure. There's so much pride behind what he's saying. I'm not even Italian and I feel the pride he's projecting. He had that street swag; he was doing this stuff with his hands and moving his head before it was even hip-hop."

The song also features a guest spot from Chance the Rapper, who spits rhymes about pursuing your dreams and not being boxed in.
