Dark Kind of Guy (3:49)
They say in the valley it don’t rain a lot
I’m standing in a puddle it’s all gone to pot
I just shake my head and sigh
I’m just a dark kind of guy
Could not be more plain to see
The man’s got it out for me
All the tarot cards agree
My cups are half empty
Have a stout and pout about the glory days
I’m getting older and more set in my ways
It’s clear that life has passed me by
I’m just a dark kind of guy
Could not be more plain to see
The man’s got it out for me
All the Tarot cards agree
My cups are half empty
Could not be more plain to see
The man’s got it out for me
Forty tickets numbers scream
I lost the lottery
City nights and bar fights
I’ll get you back when I’m able
Shouldn’t be a problem now
I get paid under the table
Trigger mites and gaslights
I’m on the edge of ruin
We should totally hang out
How is your sister doin?
How is your sister doin?
Could not be more plain to see
The man’s got it out for me
All the tarot cards agree
My cups are half empty
Could not be more plain to see
The man’s got it out for me
Forty tickets numbers scream
I lost the lottery
I’m just a dark kind of guy
