Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
So I must remain in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, hell I'm doin' all I can
Well, I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
So next time you see me, don't ask for my name
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
But after a while, when my mouth ain't so dry
The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
Flew all the way to California
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
Down in this world, down and almost broken
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
But all I remember is the freedom of old
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
For I am the king and sure long may I reign
