12 Bar Acid Blues Lyrics - Ghosts - Siobhan Donaghy

Well I found myself in a world of pain 

And I thought I'd try to get away 

So I went online and book a trip 

I thought I was due a holiday 

So I sat right down and wrote to you 

Oh dear John those things you do 

So I packed my stuff and clear the room 

Off I go singing a different tune 

So I'm in the cab I'm running late 

I have no hope getting in these city gates 

I think of things I should have done 

Countless things I should have run 

Oh no what can I do 

The passport check I'm already through 

I've got a feeling in my gut 

That I'm in a short cue for a lot of bad luck 

I should have heeded 

My father's saying 

That things will go wrong 

If you try to run before you crawl 

Well as I found things can get worse 

And I'm starting to think I may be cursed 

Well the kid behind he's kicking me 

Possessed by demons on TV 

Oh no what can I do 

My passport's gone my wallet too 

I'v eaten fish and I'm feeling sick 

I can only hope I'll be landing quick 

Well first I knew you were up the creek 

And I got so mad I couldn't speak 

I was all geared up for Mexico but I was 

Landing down now in Moscow 

Oh no this just won't do 

I wanted heat and it's minus two 

I'm so choked up but I'm feeling mad 

I couldn't believe that it could get this bad 

I should have heeded 

My father's saying that things will go wrong 

If you rush too fast you will fall 

Well I lost my bags and all I had 

Was Duty Free and a fashion mag 

With no cash and no Visa too I 

Had a lot of explaining to do 

Well they said this just won't do 

This is counterfeit and so are you 

Well I found myself without my shoes 

In a cold jail cell and I've got the blues 

I should have heeded 

My father's saying cause things did go wrong 

When I tried to run and face it head on 

Do do do do do
