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 and it s near the break of day and you re running out options and running out of place the leaves are cracking withered on the trees i beg you darling won t you say a prayer for me i need your benediction cause i m a soul in need and 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 oh like the blind leading the blind time after time you won t let the love in yeah 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 waiting for you when the day is done there is a sadness grinding in your bones a twisted trap down you re forced to go you need the hand of friendship to steady up your heart so hang on to me closely and i ll show you down the path 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 nothing yeah ooh like the blind leading the blind after the wine oh your tears they are gushing oh just like the blind leading the blind time after time you won t let the love in ooh ooh just like the blind leading the blind leading the blind oh yeah oh come on just like the blind leading the blind
