Black Cloud

Black Cloud Lyrics

I've never screwed anyone
That didn't f**k me
And I don't climb the branch
Of another man's tree
I try not to talk
Behind the back
Never enter into thought
If you're Jew or black
Always pay what I owe
Owe what I pay
Doesn't matter if you're female
Muslim or gay
If you're cool to me
I'll be cool to you
And if you lie to me
I won't be straight with you
I never win the lottery
Never catch a break
When I get money back
You bet it's a mistake
When I gamble
I should just throw it away
I take another hit
But know I should've stayed
The green light goes
To start the race
But the helmet falls down
To cover my face
I spread my wings
And I'm ready to fly
And the wind and thunder clouds
Cover the sky

Why does all the cr*p come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?
Why does all the cr*p come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?

Why does the black cloud follow me?
Why does the black cloud follow me?
Black cloud follow
When I beat you
I was just returning serve
I climbed the ladder once
When I had nerve
Run for my life
But stop to tie my shoe
When I raped you
I was just taming the shrew
There's a paycheck in my name I see
But I've got no acceptable form of I'd
There's a wall at the end
Of a broken path
Add two and two together
But beware of the math
There's a place on earth
Where I feel safe
But I've never been able
To find that place
When I'm high I think
I've got it figured out
Yet my performance is filled
With an aching doubt
There's a feel in the air
That I'm going to win
But the air up here
Is extremely thin
There's a storm cloud chasing me
Wherever I go
And the only people helping me
Keep telling me no

Why does all the cr*p come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?
Why does all the cr*p come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?

Why does the black cloud follow me?
Why does the black cloud follow me?
Black cloud follows

How much of this can I take?
Why does all the cr*p come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?

Why does the black cloud follow me?
Why does the black cloud follow me?
Black cloud follows
Black cloud follows
Black cloud follows

Why does all the cr*p come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
