Tell me my troubles will die Or disappear Walk on off if a good luck reigns this year The troubles I see and the troubles I won't I wanna shake myself till they all go up in smoke Then I saw them there standing in the back of the room “Up against the wall” Casting shadows, blocking out the sun Putting black holes in the road all the way down the coast Country, city streets, sky down to the sea Black holes down the line everywhere all the time The just follow me in and out of sleep Tell me these troubles of mine are not to fear They’re gonna wash on off When I cleanse my soul in tears Their misery sleeps inside of me How can I ever escape if they’re all quick to their feet Then I saw them there standing in the back of the room “Up against the wall” casting shadows, blocking out the sun Tell me which way your winds gonna blow Wherever you go I wanna go
