Rebel say a prayer

In the midnight rain Johnny throws a stance
Says ‘Love me tender love me true’
And in the doorway there, she looks up at him
And she says ‘You know I do’

But Johnny's on the run cos he stole a gun
He needs to disappear
Johnny shot a man and now he's scared
She whispers in his ear

Rebel say a prayer that there's a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on and we'll be free
There's glory waiting there, can feel it in the air
Rebel say a prayer, I'll meet you there

Johnny pulls her close, says ‘I've got to go’
Cos they'll come for me tonight
And he turns to leave but she won't let go
And they stand there in the light

Baby where you go that's where I will go
Love never seemed so clear
If it's the last thing in the world we do
We've gotta get out of here

Rebel say a prayer that there's a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on and we'll be free
Where Cadillacs have wings, a place where Elvis sings
For you and me
So baby take my hand, we'll find the Promised Land
Above the stars tonight
There's Graceland waiting there, believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayer

And the cops are waiting down the street
They both know that there's no way out
Johnny pulls his gun and all hell breaks loose

She cries ‘I’ll remember this’
As they’re cut down in the final kiss

Rebel say a prayer that there's a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on and we'll be free
Where Cadillacs have wings, a place where Elvis sings
For you and me
So baby take my hand, we'll find the Promised Land
Above the stars tonight
There's Graceland waiting there, believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayer
Rebel say a prayer above the stars tonight
If you dare, rebel say a prayer
And I’ll meet you there
Rebel say a prayer, I’ll meet you there, yeah
