[Verse 1]
White lemon days
Blue colored lines on your face
Devil in your best
Settling like death to the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Now loosening your grip
Feel the wheel slip from your hands
Walking the devil's dog
And carrying his groceries

[Chorus 1]
I fell on black days
Fell on black days
How would I know that this would be my fate
White lemon days

[Verse 2]
Love steal the schemes
Drive around like spaceships on bald tires
Burn the mother's milk
So another fog is in line

[Pre-Chorus]
Now getting the devil's kiss
And wipe the mothers kiss from my face
Keep a stiff upper lip
Spitting on my past to the pain

[Chorus 2]
I fell on black days
Fell on black days
How would I know that this would be my fate
How would I know that this would be my fate
I fell on black days
I fell on black days

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
