Save A Prayer

ANNAS
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Want to see, I'd want to see, My God
Save it 'til the morning after
Sanna Hosanna Hey Superstar
Save it 'til the morning after

JUDAS
Like all dreamers can't find another way
We ought to call a vote
Save it 'til the morning after
We want information. Get up of the floor
Save it 'til the morning after
The end!
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Live in me Jerusalem.
Save it 'til the morning after
I don't need your blood money!
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Yes, I can understand that she amuses
Melt the ice
And it's cool, and the ointment's sweet
Save it 'til the morning after

PILATE
All alone ain't much fun

ANNAS
Save it 'til the morning after

CAIAPHAS
Save it 'til the morning after
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
Some people call it a one night stand
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
That is not an answer
All alone ain't much fun
Everything’s alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
So you're looking for the thrill
Take him to Pilate!
Feel the breeze deep on the inside
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair, that's hardly in your line
Pretty looking road

JESUS
Let me try to cool down your face a bit
Save it 'til the morning after
