lyrics

find the right conversation, you'll vanish
slip out of reach like insects through fingertips
learn how to be like the praying mantis
ruler of undergrowth, living inside his bliss

ooh, be like the silent king mantis
be like the mantis!

whoa, whoa, know you wanna get me alone
keep on praying, keep on praying, keep praying, keep on praying
whoa whoa, know you want my claws on your bones
keep on praying, keep on praying, keep on praying, keep on praying

find the right satisfaction and snatch it
all those sweet dreams left crawling inside of you
keep watch for pesticides, friends, and famine
let that hive buzz, and fly from beneath the shoes

whoa, whoa, know you wanna get me alone
keep on praying, keep on praying, keep praying, keep on praying
whoa whoa, know you want my claws on your bones
keep on praying, keep on praying, keep on praying, keep on praying

when did I become uncool?
lost the right to make you smile
now my words forbidden to you
scrambled like encrypted files

whoa, whoa, know you wanna get me alone
keep on praying, keep on praying, keep praying, keep on praying
whoa whoa, know you want my claws on your bones
keep on praying, keep on praying, keep on praying, keep on praying
