Blindsided Lyrics - The Killer Instinct - Black Star Riders

Why should I live in history? 

Condemned To a life of coulda been 

I quit takin' dope, I quit drinking whiskey 

I quit takin' chances 

I gave her the ring my mother gave me 

She said meet at the station 4:30 

So I sit here waiting, patiently 

Why should I live in history? 

When the world shines up dirt 

And calls it coal 

They're selling the light at the church 

At the end of the road 

When angel's wings run out of veins 

Looks like I'm blindsided once again 

Why should I live in history? 

Gave away my gun and joined the scene 

Resurrection Mary's gonna set me free 

Now, I'm a believer 

But this mocking bird is mocking me 

She's four hours late and I'm all at sea 

One little taste is all it takes 

To get me back to history 

When the world shines up dirt 

And calls it coal 

They're selling the light at the church 

At the end of the road 

When angel's wings run out of veins 

Looks like I'm blindsided once again 

If I gave a damn of what you thought 

I'd give you the bottle and ask 

Now the streets are dead and I'm ashamed 

Think I'll go call upon my past! 

I'm all out of hope 

I'm all out of you 

There's nothing left 

There's nothing new 

And your judgement day is long past due 

Now what am I supposed to do 

Why should I live in history? 

Underneath this tin foil moon 

I just got tired of waiting around 

For you to change your tune 

In my desire for your company 

If only time would let me be 

And stop the world from stopping me 

Why should I live in history? 

When the world shines up dirt 

And calls it coal 

They're selling the light at the church 

At the end of the road 

When angel's wings run out of veins 

Looks like I'm blindsided once again
