2/6/1996 alternate lyrics
Oh, so I'm praying
oh, at night
and I wake up praying
all daylight
I pray to you
and hear my request
I ask of you
to save this baby
oh, look at the girl
oh, from inside
is cancer eaten
is life-deprived
and if so by who?
could it be you?
I see no need
for a baby's wisdom for you
oh god, the girl
all yellow turned
are cheeks are swollen
and soul is burned
oh, but the girl
the girl is gone
and the deed is done
oh, it must be wrong
check it down, check it down, down
Oh, and my prayer
my prayers not heard
could it be you're deaf
deaf to mortal words?
oh, and see her pain
and drain and drain
could you be deaf
and blind my friend?
oh, and so a hole
can you not hear?
can you not see?
and if with words
you could change the way
things are arranged
surely you'd be speaking
speaking no change
oh, but the girl
deaf, dumb, and blind
from the cancer burning
deep down inside
oh, but the deed is done
and the girl is gone
and I see no faith
that I have won
check it down, check it down, yeah
Well, you may find your religion
you may find your attraction
you may go
for me the girl is gone
oh, you may find you're faithful
you may find out the reaction
but to me
the baby is gone
the baby lie
