From: Tom Alspach 
Subject: TAB:  Porcelain God (Prayin') by Stradley

This is a killer cut from Stradley's first CD recorded in 1995.  Music
written and tabbed by Tom Alspach and lyrics prepared by Ryan Johnson.
Timing is a little off, listen to the CD and you should be able to piece it
together.  The solo is killer, I'll try to tab it later.  For now you should
be able to fake it through it.

Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1
It was a Friday night
Chillin' in by room, drinkin' some brews
It was a Friday night
I layed back
Closed my eyes
When the world started spinnin'
To my suprise
It was a Friday night. . .
Oh no another Friday night of. . .

Chorus 1
PRAYIN'!
Prayin' to the porcelain God
I was prayin' mother f*ucker!
Prayin' mother f*ucker
Prayin to the Porcelain god. . . dammit
Mother f*ck you!
I'm dyin' mother f*cker
Listen to me!
Listen

Verse 2
I threw up my lunch
I threw up my dinner
I threw up my mother f*ckin' innards
Oh God noooooo!

Chorus 2
I was Prayin'
Prayin' to the porcelain God
I was prayin' mother f*cker
Prayin' mother f*cker
Prayin' to the porcelain God

F*ck you bitch.
