Ashes to Ashes Lyrics

I believe that when we are born we contain no original sin.
We are helplessly innocent and for a while I was no exception.
But as I grew, I saw the great divide, in between wrong and right
I didn't lose my innocence, I gave it away, one piece at a time
My disposition is not my decision, I was born beneath a black tree
And despite the advice, I've learned otherwise that the world has it out for me
Good Lord! That's some bad luck. Lightning twice has struck
Call it what you want to, I don't want to argue, I call it The Blues....

It's been a blue moon or two since I was down
And that means for me, any day now.
My life was going alright, I had almost overcome
But I made a deal when I did the deed and I can't run.
Well I got a heart so fond of sadness, oh you know that I have this
And a head so full of gloom, I have that too
I have a life long sentence and nothing to lose
Call it what you want to, I don't want to argue, I call it The Blues.

I tried to leave them on the freeway, in a storm of tears and headlights
I thought I was stronger than my sadness, my blues beat me in a fair fight
I tried to drown them in liquor, I tried to smother them in l***,
Call it what you want to.... ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST
