about

The chorus of this song comes from a Mark Twain quote, "But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?"

lyrics

Maybe my heroes aren't for praising
They seem to write a lot of heartbroken songs
Well maybe my heroes are more like me
Never staying happy for too long

If I've learned one thing
I know that's what a lover never wants
And so the depressed go out lonely
Every night, all the time

I'll look to lucifer
The one man who needed prayers most
I'll look to lucifer
The one man who needed prayers most
He needed prayers most
Needed them the most
More than you or me oh

See the things I most enjoy?
There's always a twist to it
The hero always dies
The plot moves on

Jeff said it best like this
"I'm losing my penchant for jokes"
"And it's really not funny..."
"The constant nostalgia for bad times
When they're through"

I'll look to lucifer
The one man who needed prayers most
I'll look to lucifer
The one man who needed prayers most
He needed them the most
He needed you the most
More than me
