Black Friday Rule Lyrics - Alive Behind The Green Door - Flogging Molly

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, yeah 

This mess in my head is a mess getting out 

Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout 

But after a while, when my mouth's not 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 doin' all I can 

So next time you see me, don't ask for my name 

For I am the king and sure 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 

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
