Flogging Molly - Black Friday Rule lyrics
[Flogging Molly - Black Friday Rule lyrics]
I want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart if
You gave me the truth
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old
(Hey)
Well, I lost me a wife so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
You drink too much coffee
I drink too much stout
But after a while, when my mouth ain't so dry
I'll dance up a storm
Sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions
Don't fuck with my head
'Cause, I've been down in this world
Down and almost broken
Like thousands of people
Left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
The buildings, they shake, but my heart
It beats still
Oh, mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where
My feet both feel safe
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
So I must remain in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, hell I'm doing all I can
So next time you see me
Don't ask for my name
For I am the king and shall long may I reign
'Cause, I've been down in this world
Down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left
Standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
Cause, I've been down in this world
Down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left
Standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart if
You gave me the truth
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old
(Hey)
Well, I lost me a wife so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
You drink too much coffee
I drink too much stout
But after a while, when my mouth ain't so dry
I'll dance up a storm
Sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions
Don't fuck with my head
'Cause, I've been down in this world
Down and almost broken
Like thousands of people
Left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
The buildings, they shake, but my heart
It beats still
Oh, mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where
My feet both feel safe
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
So I must remain in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, hell I'm doing all I can
So next time you see me
Don't ask for my name
For I am the king and shall long may I reign
'Cause, I've been down in this world
Down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left
Standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
Cause, I've been down in this world
Down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left
Standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as
The black Friday rule
