Mudshovel Lyrics


You take away
I feel the same

You take away
I feel the same
All the promises you made to me you made in vain
I lost myself inside your tainted smile again

'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart
With the brutal things you say
I can't deal with this shit anymore
I just look away

'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they bring only pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

You take away
I feel the same
All these promises
You promised only pain
If you take away
And leave me with nothing again

'Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

You will feel my anger
You will feel my pain
You will feel my torment
Driving you insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You won't take away
I'll be whole again

    Drunken Hearts Lyrics


    ‘Member what you said to me?
    We were fading heavily
    On the rooftop stumbling
    We’re our own worst enemies

    'Cause my drunken heart’s like an overflowing cup
    I got too much love, too much love

    We got Drunken Hearts (eh, eh)
    And don’t know how to stop (eh,eh)
    'Cause we got drunken hearts (eh, eh)
    And don’t know how to stop our drunken hearts

    We go out, like, every night
    Making out and picking fights
    And even though I know it’s bad
    You’re a good problem to have

    'Cause my drunken heart’s like an overflowing cup
    I got too much love, too much love

    We got drunken hearts (eh, eh)
    And don’t know how to stop (eh,eh)
    'Cause we got drunken hearts (eh, eh)
    And don’t know how to stop our drunken hearts
    Our drunken hearts, yeah

    My drunken heart’s like an overflowing cup
    I got too much love and then I spill it
    My drunken heart’s like an overflowing cup
    I got too much love and then I spill it
    Our drunken hearts, they’re like overflowing cups
    We got too much love, too much love

    We got drunken hearts (eh, eh)
    And don’t know how to stop (eh,eh)
    'Cause we got drunken hearts (got drunken hearts)
    And don’t know how to stop our drunken hearts (know how to stop)

    My drunken heart’s like an overflowing cup
    I got too much love and then I spill it
    My drunken heart’s like an overflowing cup
    I got too much love and then I spill it
    Our drunken hearts, they’re like overflowing cups
    We got too much love

    Drunken Hearts
  • Wallpaper is an American Hip-Hop and Pop music act, fronted by producer and multi-instrumentalist songwriter, Ricky Reed. This is a track from, Ricky Reed is Real, the project's second studio album and major label debut.
  • Reed wrote the song with professional songwriter Ammar Malik, whose credits include Maroon 5's "Payphone" and "Moves Like Jagger" as well as Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts." Reed recalled the story of the song to Artist Direct : "In 2006, I played a show with an old punk band in a small bar in Fairfax, Virginia," he said. "There were eight or nine people. Three people came up to me to say they loved the band and were big fans. I didn't think much of it."

    "A few years ago," Reed continued, "I played a show in New York and one of those same kids came to the show and said, 'My friend is writing songs in L.A. You should meet him.' A year later, the same kid came to my show and said, 'My friend Ammar Malik is writing songs. He wrote 'Moves Like Jagger.' We get together and go to the roof of his beach house, with acoustic guitars, and wrote a song together. It's called 'Drunken Hearts.' It has to do with serendipity and circumstance and leaving things to chance."

    Sacrificed Sons Lyrics


    Walls are closing
    Anxiously
    Channel surfing
    Frantically

    Burning City
    Smoke and fire
    Planes, we're certain.
    Faith inspired?

    No clues
    A complete surprise
    Who'll be
    Coming home tonight?

    Heads all turning
    Towards the sky
    Towers crumble
    Heroes die

    Who would wish this
    On our people?
    And proclaim
    That His will be done
    Scriptures they heed have misled them
    All praise their Sacrificed Sons
    All praise their sacrificed sons

    Teach them
    What to think and feel
    Your ways
    So enlightening

    Words they preach
    I can't relate
    If God's true Love
    Are acts of Hate

    Who would wish this
    On our people?
    And proclaim
    That His will be done
    Scriptures they heed have misled them
    All praise their sacrificed sons
    All praise their sacrificed sons

    God on high
    Our mistake
    Will mankind be extinct?
    There's no time to waste
    Who serves the truth
    For Heaven's sake?

    Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High? Lyrics


    The mirror's image,
    It tells me it's home time,
    But I'm not finished,
    'Cause you're not by my side.

    And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving,
    Carrying your shoes,
    Decided that once again I was just dreaming,
    Of bumping into you.

    Now it's three in the morning,
    And I'm trying to change your mind,
    Left you multiple missed calls
    And to my message you reply.
    Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
    High
    Why'd you only call me when you're high?

    Somewhere darker,
    Talking the same shite,
    I need a partner,
    Well are you out tonight?

    It's harder and harder to get you to listen,
    More I get through the gears,
    Incapable of making alright decisions,
    And having bad ideas.

    Now it's three in the morning,
    And I'm trying to change your mind,
    Left you multiple missed calls
    And to my message you reply.
    (Message you reply)
    Why'd you only call me when you're high?
    (Why'd you only call me when you're)
    High
    Why'd you only call me when you're high?

    And I can't see you here when I'm high,
    Sort of feels like I'm running out of time,
    I haven't found all I was hoping to find,
    You said you got to be up in the morning,
    Gonna have an early night,
    And you starting to bore me, baby,
    Why'd you only call me when you're high?

    Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
    Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?

    Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
    Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?

    Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
  • The third single from AM, this is the last in the album's trilogy of question-mark songs following "R U Mine?" and "Do I Wanna Know?"
  • Set at 3am at some party, frontman Alex Turner told Q magazine the song was inspired by a voicemail he got "along those lines."

    The 3am hour seems to inspire a lot of songs. "3 AM" by Matchbox Twenty and "25 Or 6 To 4" by Chicago both take place in this timeframe.
  • The song's music video was directed by the Chicago-born photographer Nabil Elderkin and recorded the Monday after the band's Glastonbury headline performance. It finds a drunk Alex Turner hallucinating as he leaves a the Howl At The Moon pub in Hoxton, London, where he's been drinking with his bandmates. The singer and stumbles through the streets of East London repeatedly texting a girl called Stephanie in a fairly literal interpretation of this ode to booty calls and debauchery. "I had no idea the shoot was going to be so explicit," model Lamie Stewart, who plays Stephanie, told NME. "I missed an email, so when I turned up I was like... riiiight! The scene where I have sex with the man in the kebab shop was quite hilarious, especially: the kebab guy was actually the sweetest thing. He was more nervous than I was! I've been a fan of the band for a very long time, since 6th form, so was very happy when I won the role to be in the video, despite being passed around via Alex's drunken mind state!"
  • This was the Arctic's first song to make the Top Ten on the UK singles chart since their 2007 #5 hit "Fluorescent Adolescent."

    I Will Remember Lyrics


    I was born in the land of the sun
    And the tall green grass
    And I don't understand
    How all this has come to pass

    How we've come to surround ourselves
    In a sea of thieves
    In a land without learning
    Only the fools believe

    I went driving last night
    On a dark canyon road
    Had the sky to myself
    But I wasn't alone

    Had the pain of my lifetime
    For my company
    How did it end up like this
    For you and me

    When love breaks the promise
    The heart has to keep
    It leaves only truth here to find
    When the spirit is crushed
    And the hurt is so deep
    Between you and I

    Even when love has come and gone
    And our hearts have moved along
    I Will Remember
    There was a time we had the trust

    And that always was enough
    I will remember
    I will remember you

    As I open my eyes to one more day
    The wind burns my face
    As it whispers your name
    As it's pulling me forward

    It tears me free
    And the only thing left
    Is the tears for and me

    'Cause when love breaks the promise
    The heart has to keep
    It leaves only truth here to find
    When the spirit is crushed
    And hurt is so deep
    Between you and I

    Even when love has come and gone
    And our hearts have moved along
    I will remember
    There was a time we had the trust
    And that always was enough
    I will remember

    Even when love has come and gone
    And our hearts have moved along
    I will remember
    There was a time we had the trust

    And that always was enough
    I will remember
    I will remember you

    Pretty Brown Eyes Lyrics


    I like this right here

    This girl she came 'round the corner
    Looking like a model
    Magazine figure
    She was shaped like a bottle
    Long straight hair
    She was fly as a bird
    First time ever
    I was lost for words
    Felt so right
    Just couldn't be wrong
    Love at first sight
    If that exists at all
    I couldn't move
    Felt like I was stuck
    And then baby girl looked up

    And I said
    Hey there Pretty Brown Eyes
    Whatcha doing later tonight?
    Would you mind if I spend time with you?
    And I said
    Hey there pretty brown eyes
    Whatcha doing later tonight?
    Would you mind if I spend time with you?

    This girl she was a little hottie
    She knows she's got it
    Came from the city so she loves to party
    The JT song make her move that body
    She's dancing all night long
    I could tell that she was a wild one
    That's why I was shy at first
    But I finally worked up the nerve

    And I said
    Hey there pretty brown eyes
    Whatcha doing later tonight?
    Would you mind if I spend time with you?
    And I said
    Hey there pretty brown eyes
    Whatcha doing later tonight?
    Would you mind if I spend time with you?

    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you
    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you
    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you
    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you

    Hey hey little pretty brown eyes
    Don'tcha ever be looking at them other guys
    'Cause ain't never had no surfer like me
    Start swimming over here and ride my wave
    'Cause I see that you party like there's no tomorrow
    Let's leave the party
    I'll grab my guitar
    I got the keys
    So jump in my car
    Sit back, relax
    Australia's kinda far

    Hey there pretty brown eyes
    Whatcha doing later tonight?
    Would you mind if I spend time with you?
    And I said
    Hey there pretty brown eyes
    Whatcha doing later tonight?
    Would you mind if I spend time with you?

    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you
    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you
    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you
    Spend a little bit
    A little bit of time with you

The boy knows that anytime he calls her name, she would come even if she knew it was just to be used. No matter what she tells herself, she could never say no.

    It's A Sign Of The Times
    That your love for me is getting so much stronger
    It's a sign of the times
    And I know that I won't have to wait much longer
    You've changed a lot somehow from the one I used to know
    For when you hold me now, it feels like you never want to let me go

    It's a sign of the times
    That you call me up whenever you feel lonely
    It's a sign of the times
    That you tell your friends that I'm your one and only
    I'll never understand the way you treated me
    But when I hold your hand, I know you couldn't be the way you used to be

    Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine
    Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine, mmh

    I'll never understand the way you treated me
    But when I hold your hand, I know you couldn't be the way you used to be

    Maybe my lucky star at last decided to shine
    Maybe somebody knows how long I've waited to make you mine

    It's a sign of the times
    That you kiss me now as if you really mean it
    It's a sign of the times
    And a year ago I never could have seen it
    Don't ever change your mind and take your love away
    Just leave the past behind and, baby, only think of how it is today

    It's a sign of the times
    It's a sign of the times
    It's a sign of the times
    It's a sign of the times

    It's a sign of the times

    A Sign Of The Times
  • You would expect a song from the '60s called "A Sign Of The Times" to have a heavy political or social context, kind like the Prince song with a similar title. There is no weighty meaning in this one, however, as Petula sings about a guy who has finally stopped neglecting her, and she couldn't be happier. Like most of Petula's hits, it was written by the British songwriter Tony Hatch.
  • In our 2013 interview with Petula Clark , we asked her what she thought of this song when she heard it. "I loved it," she replied. "It had a slightly different feel. 'A Sign of the Times,' I suppose you might expect some big political statement or something, but it was just a straight ahead love song. I think Tony [Hatch] rather liked finding titles that made you think, like 'Don't Sleep In The Subway.' People would think, is it about drugs? Is it about this? And these were just straightforward songs."
  • In 1999, this song was used in a commercial for the department store of Target, emphasizing how the store has changed with the times.

    Let's go!

    It's My Party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
    So while you sit and watch me

    If you were wondering if I give a damn, well, I do not
    'Cause it's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
    (Woah-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [x2]

    Addicted to attention, you need an intervention
    So while you acting like you're sick
    Sitting around and talking shit
    Don't you get tired of being alone

    Awww, your only friend is your phone

    OWWWW!

    OW! It's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)

    It's My Party
  • The second single by British songstress Jessie J off her sophomore studio album was penned by the singer with Ester Dean. The American singer-songwriter's resume includes US #1 hits for Rihanna ("Rude Boy," "What's My Name?") and Katy Perry ("Firework"). The song received its first radio play on Capital FM on August 5, 2013 and was released on September 15, 2013.
  • Jessie told Capital FM about the song's music video. "It's basically me having parties," she said. "Three very different parties that I kind of bring together as one big party. There's some cameos in there, some of my best mates in there. It's a fun video where it's just me being silly. A lot of humor."
  • The song shares its title with Lesley Gore's 1963 hit song about a birthday party. Gore's event turned out not to be the happy occasion she thought it would be when her boyfriend Johnny left with a girl named Judy.
  • Speaking on the syndicated radio show, InDemand with Alex James, Jesse revealed that is was her detractors who inspired the song. "A lot of the time the haters - I hate calling them haters but that's the easiest way to sum it up - they need love more so than anyone else," she said. "I don't think hate does anything for the world. It doesn't do any good. I wanted to make sure I had a song that represented what I'm about."

    Oops (Oh My) Lyrics


    I'll tell ya what I did last night
    I came home, say around a quarter to three
    Still so high, hypnotized
    In a trance, from his body
    So buttery brown and tantalizing
    You would have thought I needed help
    With the feeling that I felt
    So shook I had to catch my breath

    Oops! There goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
    Oops! There goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
    Oh! Some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
    Oh! I'm turnin' red who could this be

    I tried and I tried to avoid
    But this thing was happening
    Swallow my pride, let it ride
    And parted, but this body felt just like mine
    I got worried
    I looked over to the left
    A reflection of myself
    That's why I couldn't catch my breath

    Oops! There goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
    Oops! There goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
    Oh! Some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
    Oh! I'm turnin' red who could this be

    I looked over to my left
    Mmm, I was lookin' so good I couldn't reject myself
    I looked over to my left
    Mmm, I was feelin' so good I had to touch myself
    I looked over to the left
    Mmm, I was eyein' my thighs, butter pecan brown
    I looked over to the left
    Mmm, Coming out of my shirt and then my skirt came down

    Oops! There goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
    Oops! There goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
    Oh! Some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
    Oh! I'm turnin' red who could this be

With a combination of sculpted styrofoam and fog machines, the icy clip was modeled after Sweden's famous Icehotel. The hotel, the first of its kind, is rebuilt each year out of snow and ice in the village of Jukkasjärvi.
  • The song is about masturbation. She pleasures herself after coming home from a club.

    Roar Lyrics


    I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
    Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
    So I sat quietly, agreed politely
    I guess that I forgot I had a choice
    I let you push me past the breaking point
    I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

    You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
    Already brushing off the dust
    You hear my voice, your hear that sound
    Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
    You held me down, but I got up
    Get ready 'cause I had enough
    I see it all, I see it now

    I got the eye of the tiger, the fire
    Dancing through the fire
    'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me Roar
    Louder, louder than a lion
    'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    You're gonna hear me roar!

    Now I'm floating like a butterfly
    Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
    I went from zero, to my own hero

    You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
    Already brushing off the dust
    You hear my voice, your hear that sound
    Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
    You held me down, but I got up
    Get ready 'cause I've had enough
    I see it all, I see it now

    I got the eye of the tiger, the fire
    Dancing through the fire
    'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
    Louder, louder than a lion
    'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    You're gonna hear me roar!

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    You're gonna hear me roar!

    Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!

    I got the eye of the tiger, the fire
    Dancing through the fire
    'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
    Louder, louder than a lion
    'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    You're gonna hear me roar!

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    You're gonna hear me roar!

    Roar
  • The lead single from Katy Perry's Prism album was written by the singer in collaboration with her friend Bonnie McKee and produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke. The same team also helped craft most of Perry's biggest hits on Teenage Dream, the exception being "Firework."
  • The song is a bouncy statement by Perry of moving forward into the next stage of her life after the tumultuous end of her marriage to Russell Brand. Talking to BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills, she revealed: "It's a bit of a self-empowering type of song. I wrote it because I was sick of keeping all these feelings inside and not speaking up for myself, which caused a lot of resentment. Obviously I've been through a lot of therapy since my last record and that's what this is about."
  • The song has hit #1 in 15 countries and entered the Top 10 in 38 charts worldwide; it is easy to see why when looking at the fine songwriting craft on display. Of course, as with any smash hit, the song employs a great deal of repetition to ingrain itself in the listener's head, making it hooky and memorable; however, the repetition suitably expresses the songs primary theme, which is one of empowerment.

    The titular "roar" appears 16 times in the song, cleverly emphasized at the end of chorus lines (and even beginning one) to squeeze out every last bit of its sing-a-long credentials. This makes the title almost a mantra for those who are listening for the empowerment themes (a subject Perry has tackled before, notably on her smash hit "Firework"). There is also the added payoff of the sing-along "o-o-o-o-ar", a songwriting technique that, through its transcending of language, universalizes the song.

    The song also piques our curiosity as it may be interpreted as a commentary on her much publicized divorce with comedian Russell Brand. As her first release since their split, many of her fans were curious to hear how she responded musically to this development in her personal life.

    Though the song's generic similarities to previous hits like "Firework" show a conservative attempt to maintain her current fan base, the pop culture references to Muhammad Ali, Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman," and the Rocky movie franchise show Perry's attempt to connect with a more mature audience.
  • Perry's two previous lead singles had been "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls." "Roar" marked the first time she had led an album cycle with a straightforward message rather than a novelty song.
  • Four words that Sylvester Stallone came up with in the early '80s permeated pop culture through the decades, landing (in very derivative fashion) in this song. When Perry sings about having the "eye of the tiger," it's a mantra of courage and determination that Stallone's character, Rocky Balboa, used in the 1982 movie Rocky III to defeat Mr. T's character Clubber Lang. Stallone saw the youth appeal in the phrase, and asked the band Survivor to write a song around the title. The first two Rocky movies were aimed at adults, but this third one, with a fresh, contemporary theme song, gained a whole new audience primed by MTV.

    Perry's use of the phrase goes with the big-cat theme of her song, and falls under fair use; the "Eye Of The Tiger" songwriters did not get writer's credits on "Roar." This isn't the first time Perry has appropriated a distinctive hook line from a hit song - in 2010 she released "California Gurls."

    When we asked Jim Peterik , one of the writers of "Eye of the Tiger," about this appropriation, he said: "I was very conflicted with that. I called my publisher and we were checking out the options: 'Do we have a lawsuit here?' I thought her song was very good, but that's kind of beside the point. And bottom line is, it would have been a tough case to win. So instead, I embraced it, and I started looking at it as a positive thing."
  • So what did Perry's boyfriend, John Mayer, think of the song? Mayer told Billboard magazine that he knew it would be a success. "In a way you get swallowed up by it, it's so big," said the singer-songwriter, adding: "Because it's such an incredibly big song that it doesn't need you to tell anybody, while you're eating lunch, [that] millions of people are going to be dancing on tables to that."
  • The song sold 557,024 downloads during its first week of release, giving Perry the biggest Digital Song sales week of her career to date, surpassing "Firework" with 509,000 in the last week of 2010.
  • The song was criticized by some for sounding similar to Sara Bareilles' hit tune "Brave." Bonnie McKee told Melony Torres on 102 JAMZ that any similarities were purely coincidental: "A friend told me and I had never actually heard the song," she said. "People also forget that we didn't write it yesterday. You know, the song was written months ago, before 'Brave' ever came out. There are only so many notes in an octave to work with, it's gonna happen… things are going to sound similar. But it was definitely just a coincidence."
  • The song's music video sees Perry in a tropical forest, much like Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. The clip was shot over three days by Grady Hall and Mark Kudsi and filmed at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. It co-stars actor and model Brian Nagel as her boyfriend, who meets an unfortunate end. Perry got to work with exotic animals while filming, but there was one clear favorite. "Suzy the elephant cause she wouldn't stop eating everything!" she tweeted.
  • Perry was criticized by officials at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), for featuring exotic animals in the video. Merrilee Burke, a spokeswoman for PETA, claimed to the Daily Star that by simply having the animals on set, the singer and crew were exposing them to unnecessary stress. "Animals used for entertainment endure horrific cruelty and suffer from extreme confinement and violent training methods," she said. "They often become stressed and anxious when hauled around and forced into unfamiliar or frightening situations."
  • A lyric video was released depicting Perry texting the lyrics of the song to her friends, while also substituting some words for emoji icons. Producer Dillon Francis accused the Californian singer of copying on her clip. Writing on Twitter, Francis said that the singer's visual ripped off the ideas used in the promo for his track "Message," which also showed the lyrics being unveiled via text. However, Perry's clip also shows her doing mundane activities such as going to the bathroom and playing with her cat.
  • Perry released a 30-second video teaser called "Burning Baby Blue" for Prism showing the singer lighting her famous blue wig on fire. The visual also revealed the August 12, 2013 release date for the song.
  • This won both Favorite Song and Favorite Music Video at the 2014 People's Choice Awards.
  • This is one of several one-word-titled songs co-penned by Bonnie McKee. (Others include Taio Cruz's "Dynamite", Kesha's "C'Mon" and her own single "Sleepwalker"). She told Billboard magazine that a single word is, "clean, simple and bold -- especially if you find a really splashy one."

    "I have a book of titles that I've compiled over the years, and I do find that one-word titles are special, probably because it means a simple hook and an even simpler concept," McKee continued. "I know that when I do stumble upon a one-worder that pops, I'm psyched. If one word can sum it up, then the bones of the song are sturdy."
  • When Perry was the featured performer at the 2015 Super Bowl halftime show, she opened her set with this song, appearing atop a giant, mosaic-textured lion that was walked to the stage. This was the only lion to perform at the game, as the Detroit team lost in the playoffs (the Patriots won, beating the Seahawks 28-24).
  • Asked during a Reddit AMA what she made of the "Brave"/"Roar" controversy, Bareilles replied: "I felt like people got really excited about being angry about something. It was weird. Katy is an old friend and I had no beef with her. I was disappointed to see the feeding frenzy that developed 'on my behalf', and i think it speaks to the misguided notion that music has to be competitive. It's not. There's room for everyone."
  • Katy Perry appeared at the Democratic National Convention on July 28, 2016 to extol Hillary Clinton's run for president. She entreated the crowd to "use your voice" before performing "Rise" and this song. "Let's roar for Hillary," Perry said before going into this tune.

    Prayer For The Dying Lyrics


    Da da, da da, ah, ho-oo-oh-oo

    Fearless people careless needle
    Harsh words spoken and lives are broken
    Forceful aging help me I'm fading
    Heaven's waiting it's time to move on

    Crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned
    Playing with fire and not getting burned
    I may not know what you're going through
    But time is the space between me and you
    Life carries on, ooh
    It goes on

    Just say die and that would be pessimistic
    In your mind we can walk across the water
    Please don't cry it's just a Prayer For The Dying
    I just don't know what's got into me

    Been crossing that bridge with lessons I've learned (learned)
    Playing with fire and not getting burned (burned)
    I may not know what you're going through
    But time is the space between me and you
    There is a light through that window
    Hold on say yes while people say no
    Life carries on, on, on, on, ooh
    It goes on, oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh, ho, oh

    I'm crossing that bridge with lessons (I've learned)
    I'm playing with fire and not getting burned (burned)
    I may not know what you're going through
    But time is the space between me and you
    There is a light through that window
    Hold on say yes while people say no

    'Cause life carries on oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on
    It goes on, oh-ee-on, it goes on
    Whoah, whoah, life carries on
    When nothing else matters
    When nothing else matters
    I just don't know what's got into me
    It's just a prayer for the dying
    For the dying
