Black Monday
You can sleep-walk back and find me
Another symphony in session
Walkin today for the people
Watch the smoke rise behind me
Isnt that my right
When to breathe to my own guilt
Its so hard anyway as it is
Jokers wild, laughin back
But I have to stay
Cut you loose, cut you up
Cut me free, cut me up
I wanna choose my own day
Let me go, call me now
Black Monday
Another black Monday came to stab me up
We stood up, I stand up
Empty promised land, we dressed it up
A woman, we messed it up
Liar sleep-walk back to find me
Just turnin up, Im outta luck
Watch the fires rise behind me
We sew it up, its gotta stop
Isnt that my right
When to breathe to my own guilt
Its so hard anyway as it is
Jokers wild, laughin back
But I have to stay
Cut you loose, cut you up
Cut me free, cut me up
I wanna choose my own day
Let me go, call me now
Black Monday
Back in the black alley never thought Id see the day
Its throwback time and comin just like yesterday
Heres my body, not my own, I still have to pay
Give it all away
Dressin up clean, me looking sharp
Coat hangin white and wear me out
Hangin out, bleedin out
Soul-searchin notes
For all the people that stood beside me
I had some men that felt just like me
Isnt that my right
When to breathe to my own guilt
Its so hard anyway as it is
Jokers wild, laughin back
But I have to stay
Cut you loose, cut you up
Cut me free, cut me up
I wanna choose my own day
Let me go, call me now
Black Monday
(Isnt that, to breathe)
Well never let go
(To my own, its so hard anyway)
Well never let go
(As it is, jokers wild)
Ill never let go
(Laughin back, but I have to stay)
Never let go
(Cut you loose, cut you up, cut me free)
Well never let go
(Cut me up, I wanna choose my own way)
Well never let go
Ill never let go
Well never let go
(Black Monday)
