You know that bad luck will eat you up
|
When¡¯s it gonna end?
|
I twisted everything I could
|
Out of words
|
In real life my colours never blend
|
When I was a boy I said to myself
|
That I¡¯d never lean on anyone else
|
Oh, but I was wrong
|
Yeah I was wrong
|
And my mother took me by the hands and then
|
Oh, oh how I prayed
|
That the good Lord would come and take me away
|
From this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
|
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
|
In this wreck of a life that I¡¯m in
|
In this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
Come on you got a lot to give
|
A lot to live for
|
And hope it all gets better
|
You twisted everything you can out of anything
|
I know it¡¯s gonna get better
|
And I¡¯m so sick and tired of lying around
|
We¡¯re all waiting for someone to light up this town
|
Oh, it won¡¯t be long
|
It won¡¯t be long
|
And I know I should have left town but I stayed
|
Oh how I prayed
|
That the good Lord would come and take me away
|
From this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
|
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
|
In this wreck of a life that I¡¯m in
|
In this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
Oh and it feels like I¡¯m writing a book and I can¡¯t get inspired
|
Sometimes
|
It seems that I¡¯m breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired
|
Oh well
|
I¡¯ll just sleep it all off and then hope that it don¡¯t get me fired
|
And I¡¯m asking you please
|
Oh oh how I prayed
|
That the good Lord would come and take me away
|
From this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
|
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
|
In this wreck of a life that I¡¯m in
|
And oh how I prayed
|
That the good Lord would come and take me away
|
From this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
|
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
|
In this wreck of a life that I¡¯m in
|
In this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
In this wreck of a life that I¡¯m in
|
In this wreck of a life that I¡¯m in
|
In this mess of a life that I¡¯m in
|
In this mess of a life that I¡¯m in¡¦
