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

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
