Blind Leading The Blind - Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart

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

Mmm …

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 honeyfrom 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

Mmm.

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

Mmm.

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
