Flotsam And Jetsam - Black Cloud

I've never screwed anyone That didn't fuck 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 crap 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 crap 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 ID 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 crap 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 crap 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 crap 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 crap come back on me? When does the barrage of bad luck cease? How long can the black cloud follow me?
