Oh brother won't you pray for me for all that lies ahead.
Keep me from the wrongs I'm bout to right.
Oh sister you will stay with me for all the things you said.
As the lights go down and I kiss the world goodnight.

And here I am standing high above the water.
A fallen angel stares into my eyes.
And late night bars and big old cars crash inside my head.
Oh shooting stars and twisted stripes collide.
Help me, help me make it through the night.

Was it mediocrity that scared me half away.
Or was it just the path life's meant to take.
So friend please have a drink on me for all that's come our way.
As the lights go down and I kiss the world goodnight.

And here I am standing high above the water.
A fallen angel stares into my eyes.
And late night bars and big old cars crash inside my head.
Oh shooting stars and twisted stripes collide.
Oooh help me, help me make it through the night.

As shooting stars and twisted stripes collide.
Oooh help me, help me make it through the night.

And here I am standing high above the water.
A fallen angel stares into my eyes.
And late night bars and big old cars crash inside my head.
I said they crash inside my head.
As shooting stars and twisted stripes collide.
Oooh help me, help me make it through the night.
Oooh help me, help me make it through the night.
Oooh help me, help me make it through the night.

Oh help me, oh help me.
