Black Cloud Lyrics - The Cold - Flotsam And Jetsam

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?
