You know that bad luck will eat you up

Whens it gonna end?

I twisted everything I could

Out of words

In real life my colours never blend



When I was a boy I said to myself

That Id never lean on anyone else

Oh, but I was wrong

Yeah I was wrong

And my mother took me by the hands and then

Oh, oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that Im in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that Im in

In this mess of a life that Im in



Come on you got a lot to give

A lot to live for

And hope it all gets better

You twisted everything you can out of anything

I know its gonna get better



And Im so sick and tired of lying around

Were all waiting for someone to light up this town

Oh, it wont be long

It wont be long

And I know I should have left town but I stayed



Oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that Im in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that Im in

In this mess of a life that Im in



Oh and it feels like Im writing a book and I cant get inspired

Sometimes

It seems that Im breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired

Oh well

Ill just sleep it all off and then hope that it dont get me fired

And Im asking you please



Oh oh how I prayed

That the good Lord would come and take me away

From this mess of a life that Im in

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that Im in

And oh how I prayed
