LYRICS:
Black cloud on the sun
I turn my collar up
And walk from your door
Out to McCounty Road
Chorus 1:
Oh yeah, what luck
Time ain't been rough on us (?)
But right now, oh boy
We've hit the turning point
Three, four years or more
My life was on the floor
Blind faith, hangin' in
Hungry and tired of it
Chorus 2:
Oh yeah, bad luck
Had taken over us
But right now, oh boy
We've hit the turning point
She's had to follow me
Up and down these empty streets
Whiskey on her breath
Trying to give the world a test
(Repeat Chorus 2)
Any corrections are welcome. I'm not sure about all the lyrics. - Adriyel
