The Black Crowes - Sister Luck lyrics

To rest my head I'd take a life

Outside the girls are dancing

'Cause when you're down it just don't seem right

Feeling second fiddle to a dead man

Up to my neck with your disregard

Like a beat dog that's walking on the broadway

No one wants to hear you when you're down

Sister luck is screaming out

Somebody else's name

Sister luck is screaming out

Somebody else's name

A flip of a coin

Might make a head turn

No surprise, who sleeps

Held my hand over a candle

Flame burnin' but I never weep

Sister luck is screaming out

Somebody else's name

Sister luck is screaming out

Somebody else's name

What a shame

(Repeat 2nd Chorus)

Could I've Been So Blind

How could I've been so blind

So empty that I've never felt warm

Can I spell it out

Turn myself out of my home

Lookin' like a fool

Feelin' even worse than it seems

Tryin' hard as nails

Belevin' only in myself

And now it looks like innocence is gone

I know right and I know what's wrong

Feeling lonely that's the way it goes

Sometimes

But my greatest fear

Paint a smile from ear to ear

Alone and cryin'

Living like this is no better than dying

I tell you baby things are gonna' change

Looking like we were caught out in the rain

Feeling lonely

That's the way it goes

Sometimes

Chorus:

Could I ever have been so blind

Could I ever have been so blind

Could I ever have been so blind

Could I ever have been so blind

Solo

Could I ever have been so blind

Could I ever have been so blind

Hardest thing I ever had to do

Was stand up straight and tell it all to you

Look you right in the eye

Tell you baby sorry but I have lied

And now it looks like innocence is gone

I know right and I know what's wrong

Feeling lonely that's the way it goes

Sometimes
