Black Cloud

I'm a cosmic daydreamer

The static here surrounds

I need to let go

Let this weight come tumbling down

Oh, I've been trying to be, to be

What you want me to be, to be

Oh, it's like a black cloud

That's been there blocking out the sun, oh-oh-oh-oh

Gotta please yourself 'cause no one else

Will catch you when it's all said and done, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, I had spun out and filled myself with doubt

And I was standing in the doorway

With the key to my own suffering

And I said to myself

There's no use trying to be, to be

What you want me to be, to be

Oh, it's like a black cloud

That's been there blocking out the sun, oh-oh-oh-oh

Gotta please myself 'cause no one's there

To catch me when it's all said and done, oh-oh-oh-oh

And oh, you took me to a darkness and through that I came to see the light

Oh, with patience, oh, things they come

With eager fascination I stepped out into the world I own

With no more wasted time and thoughts of you

Now I get up to reach the sun and won't take shit from anyone, oh no, oh-oh-oh-oh

Gotta please yourself 'cause no one's there

To catch you when it's all said and done, oh-oh-oh-oh

Gotta please yourself 'cause no one else

Will catch you when it's all said and done
