  • I had a dream last night
    That I was piloting a plane
    And all the passengers were drunk and insane
    I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp
    Shot up a horde of zombies
    But I come out on top
    What's it all about?
    Guess it just reflects my mood
    Sitting in the dirt
    Feeling kind of hurt

    When all I hear is doom and gloom
    And all is darkness in my room
    Through the light your face I see
    Baby take a chance
    Baby won't you dance with me

    Lost all that treasure in an overseas war
    It just goes to show you, don't get what you paid for
    Battle to the rich and you worry about the poor
    Put my feet up on the couch
    And lock all the doors
    Hear a funky noise
    That's the tightening of the screws
    I'm feeling kind of hurt
    Sitting in the dirt

    All I hear is doom and gloom
    But when those drums go boom boom boom
    And through the night your face I see
    Baby take a chance
    Baby won't you dance with me
    Yeah
    Baby won't you dance with me
    Ah yeah

    Fracking deep for oil
    But there's nothing in the sump
    There's kids all picking
    Ar the garbage dumb
    I'm running out of water
    So I better prime the pump
    I'm trying to stay sober
    But I end up drunk

    We'll be eating dirt
    Living on the side of the road
    There's some food for thought
    Kinda makes your head explode
    Feeling kind of hurt
    Yeah

    But all I hear is doom and gloom
    And all is darkness in my room
    Through the night your face I see
    Baby come on
    Baby won't you dance with me
    Yeah
    Yeah
    Baby won't you dance with me

    I'm feeling kind of hurt
    Baby won't you dance with me
    Yeah
    Come on
    Baby won't you dance with me
    I'm sitting in the dirt
    Baby won't you dance with me! Writer/s: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger

  • Feeling Bluesy from UsaHas that punchy blues that carries back to the early Stones days. Mick has to be a student of culture and current events, or professor, 'cause he sure puts his index finger on references. Opening salvo might also be a cross-reference too, if you know what I mean? - JB
