[v1]
I sold my soul at the crossroads last night
I wonder can you even tell
I’m supposed to be sharp
I’m supposed to be tight
I’m supposed to wind up in hell
Maybe the devil took pity on me
Maybe God stood in his way
But the reason I’m here is to tell you my dear
Some clouds are silver not grey
[v2]
My boots were once new now the soles have worn through
And they talk with each step I take
It sure ain’t too funny when your stomach grumbles
And the guy next to you orders steak
Maybe if I told him I’m a long lost cousin
I could convince him to pay
But while I’m still here allow me to make clear
Some clouds are silver not grey
[v3]
Well I met a soldier just home from the war
He told me there’s new vacancies
For people like you patriotic and true
Liberating them oil companies
Maybe we’ll evolve above and beyond
Then look back with pity someday
Still it’s easy to find when it’s clear in your mind
Some clouds are silver not grey
Yeah some clouds are silver not grey
