I've never screwed anyone
That didn't $#&@ 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 I'd
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?
