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 Cause 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 (Rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) I'll meet you there (Rebel say a prayer) Johnny pulls her close Says I've got to go Cause 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 waitin' 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 "i¹ll remember this" As they¹re 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 waitin' there Believe it if you dare And rebel say a prayer (Rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) Rebel say a prayer (Rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) Above the stars tonight (Rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) If you dare (Rebel say a prayer) Rebel say a prayer (Rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) And I'll meet you there (Rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) Rebel say a prayer (Rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer) I'll meet you there (Rebel say a prayer) Yeah
