Black Friday Rule [Live]

Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head
The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
Down in this world, down and almost broken
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
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
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth

But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
Well, I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
I'm doing the best, hell I'm doin' all I can
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule
So I must remain in my new adopted land
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
Down in this world, down and almost broken
Flew all the way to California
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
For I am the king and sure long may I reign
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
Down in this world, down and almost broken
So next time you see me, don't ask for my name
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
But all I remember is the freedom of old
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine

Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
But after a while, when my mouth ain't so dry

This mess in my head is a mess getting out
