Lyrics Blind Leading The Blind - Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart

Blind Leading The Blind

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
