Dave Stewart & Mick Jagger - Blind Leading The Blind (Live Acoustic Version) lyrics

rate me

When the chips are down

And you're blinded on your feet

You're standing up and walking

But you know you are dead meat

The sky is busting

It's near the break of day

You're running out options

Running out of place

The leaves are cracking

Withered on the trees

Beg you, darling

Won’t you say a prayer for me

I need your Benediction

'Cause I’m a soul in need

I can’t sit down much lower

'Cause I'm on my knees

Like the blind leading the blind

After the wine, the tears, they are gushing

Just like the blind leading the blind

Time after time you won't let the love in

You are the sharpest knife

You are the finest blade

You are the shining sun

Everybody’s in your shade

So funny to you

Dripping honey from your tongue

But you never know what’s going on

When the day is done

There is a sadness just grinding in your bones

A twisted trap down which you're forced to go

You need the hand of friendship to steady up your heart

So hang on to me, baby, I'll show you down the path

Just like the blind leading the blind

Asking me why you won’t let the love in

Oh, like the blind leading the blind

Only to find your feelings are nothing, ah!

Mm, just like the blind leading the blind

After the wine, your tears, they are gushing, gushing, yeah

Just like the blind leading the blind

Just like you’ll find it’s leading to nothing, nothing

Oh, oh, yeah

Mm, just like the blind leading the blind

Time after time

It’s leading to nothing, nothing, nothing, not a thing

Leading the blind

After the wine, the tears, they are gushing, gushing, gushing
