Cooper, Alice - Stolen Prayer Lyrics






I walk the streets alone
On feeble bones I ride
My sins are etched in stone
I got no place to hide
Well, I was unshakable
In what I did believe
I feel so breakable
But have I been deceived

You showed me your paradise
And your carnival of souls
But my heart keeps telling me
That ain't the place to go
Well, I'm not invincible
So I want you to leave
Well, I'm so convincible
But have I been deceived

[CHORUS]
I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Well, tell me why I'm so afraid
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer

I remember yesterday
When things were black and white
Never thought I'd get confused
On what was wrong and right
Well, I'm not unbreakable
With armour on my skin
Well, it's not unthinkable
I could be fooled again

[CHORUS]

You steal another minute from my life
You cut a little deeper with your knife
You steal a little breath from my air
And you don't care
And even thought I'm chokin'
All my words are spoken

I take your words and try them on
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy
You tell me one size fits us all
Yeah, like an old straightjacket
Take this world and try it on
Man, you're lookin' good boy
Stick your neck out on the block
So you won't miss nothing
Stretch your finger, grab your hair
Don't you feel like screaming
Feel the blood rush from your veins
Now you're a perfect zombie
Now I'm on my knees

All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
All my words are spoken
In a stolen prayer

    The Chris Cornell Reincarnation Baby just looked at me when I was listening to a song Chris Cornell wrote for Alice Cooper in my headphones...
    Like An Old Straight Jacket!

  3. O.... D....

    Who gets to eat a Teile, der wird zum Los gebracht werden. Defintely.

  4. J.... 1....

    Commenting again. This album is so damn good. People degrade concept albums, but for this one go find the comic tpb and read it while you listen to this album....
    Tell me they didn’t nail it.

  5. D.... D....

    Guns and roses is okay

  6. S.... H....

    Timeless !!! Masterpiece by the Master himself !!!

  7. B.... M....

    As I look at many the comments; it seems like alot of you think that Chris Cornell is singing this song. ALICE COOPER is singing lead vocal & Chris comes in at about 1:46 as second vocals & continues as a real STRONG high note awesome singer towards the end*

  8. T.... D....

    RIP Chris Cornell

  10. T.... N....

    You have a song with Chris Cornell. It's really good. Billion Dollar Babies is the go to album when I think of Alice Cooper, but I recently remember that I also really got in to Constrictor. I think I shop lifted it...

  11. A.... ....

  12. J.... B....

    all my words are words never known before in my jjcreator.blogspot.com

  22. L.... H....

    RIP Chris Cornell I loved your voice ❤️😢

  23. R.... L....

    Chris Cornell was a humble man, but his voice took a backstage to no one.

    R.... L....

    That's the smartest thing I've ever heard.

  24. r.... c....

    Classic Alice..... brings me back to my first record a beat up copy of School's Out was hooked was thrilled when he actually showed up on the Muppets a few years later. The whole Welcome to my Nightmare vibe going on here. His heavy Ballads like this are his best work. Got to see him Montreal Forum "Raise Your Fist and Yell" .... Chop, Chop, Chop, Gail, and Roses on White Lace triple threat ending to a great album. But from School's Out "My Alma Mater and the Grand Finale" were personal favorites. with "Gutter Cat vs The Jets" coming in third. Real music not this synthesized B*** C*** they put on now.

  25. S.... O....

    Alice-cooper is a Christian 🤔!!!!

    S.... O....

    Yea I know right

  26. S.... O....

    Alice Cooper is a christian.just like me🤔!!!

    S.... O....

    God bless you brother.

    S.... O....

    I'm an atheist and I still love Alice

  27. S.... O....

    Yeah🤔...it''s a perfect-purple!!!

  28. S.... O....

    Someone was right. When they said if there ever was a concept album. This was it.

  29. S.... O....

    As...much as the group kiss sucks. Wy is there no Alice Cooper (army🤔!!!).

  30. S.... O....

    when...we pray are prayers in our head are still basically still based on what's in the Bible and that's what Alice means. The # on his skin is 777 it's God's number!!!

  31. C.... C....

    Funny how this is a later album of Alice Cooper (after 20 fucking albums worth of hits!), yet it is so much my favorite, and this is probably my favorite of all the songs.

    C.... C....

    Cockroach Charlie This album has led many to the saving faith in the death- burriel- and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ!

  32. P.... R....

    To me this is one of my favorite albums of all time this album got me through some tuff times especially this song Alice Cooper and Chris Cornell can't beat that

  33. K.... B....

    Welcome to my Soundgarden.

  34. I.... K....

    Love this song, miss Chris so terribly.
    All my words are spoken in a stolen prayer
    R.I.P.

  35. N.... t....

    RIP Chris Cornell.

  36. M.... C....

    Chris Cornell is such a brilliant vocalist, so sad to hear of his passing.

  37. D.... B....

    I' m listening to this for the first time, I have the coops lp's from "love it to death - dada". My faves "KILLER", I HAVE TO GET A LITTLE MORE USE TO IT BUT I'M DIGGIN' IT SO FAR. ALICE COOPER IS MY 3RD FAVORITE, 2ND BLACK SABBATH, 1ST LED ZEPPELIN. (The top 3 bands for me of all time) !!!!!!!!!! cheers a.k.a BUZZ .

    D.... B....

    Dada is fantastic. Welcome to My Nightmare with all the bonus tracks is amazing as well. He had such a huge range in the 70's.
    I love his entire discography though the 80's stuff is a super mixed bag.

    D.... B....

    JD McD One of the greatest Christain albums of all time. comment by dygertron entertainment.

    D.... B....

    Yes indeed! I am a devout Christian so I love that fact and the album is still very Alice. The songs really rock on this one. Nothing's Free and You're My Temptation are two of my favorite Alice songs ever.

    D.... B....

    Co written by Chris Cornell.

    D.... B....

    The coop rockin the deadly dull 90s.

  38. Z.... M....

    thanks Alice, f Ozzy for rejecting this

  39. S.... O....

  40. D.... P....

    I will forever love this album.
