[Verse 1]
Whatsoever I feared
Has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off
Became my life
Just when every day
Seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now, I'm doing time
Now, I'm doing time
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Verse 2]
Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down
I'm a search light soul, they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking
When I get it right
When I get it right
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Bridge 1]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
Oh, yeah
Woooo
Wooooo oooooo
[Verse 3]
What you wanted to see good
Has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours
Has made it mine
So don't you lock up something
That you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
Not tying
Not tying
[Bridge 2]
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah, sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Bridge 1]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
[Outro]
I sure don't mind a change
Whatsoever I feared
Has come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off
Became my life
Just when every day
Seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now, I'm doing time
Now, I'm doing time
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Verse 2]
Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down
I'm a search light soul, they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking
When I get it right
When I get it right
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Bridge 1]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
Oh, yeah
Woooo
Wooooo oooooo
[Verse 3]
What you wanted to see good
Has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours
Has made it mine
So don't you lock up something
That you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
Not tying
Not tying
[Bridge 2]
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah, sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Bridge 1]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
[Outro]
I sure don't mind a change
