I SWEAR

I SWEAR I COULD SING YOU THE NEW YORK TIMES 
I KNOW THAT I COULD ~ IF YOU'D LET ME I WOULD
I WAS ALWAYS GOOD WITH THE BLUES

I'LL SHOW YOU THE ASHES THAT ONCE WERE A MAN
THE BONES OF DEAD ANGELS AND WHERE THEY WOULD PLAY
ARE YOU FEELIN' LUCKY ~  WILL YOU GET AWAY?

ARE YOU FEELIN' LUCKY ~ DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CHARMED? I'LL SHOW YOU THE ASHES ~ COME TAKE MY ARM?

LOOK AT YOUR DAUGHTER ~ LOOK WHAT SHE'S DONE 
TOOK OFF HER MASK FOR THY KINGDOM COME
TOOK OFF HER MASK ~ JUST LIKE YOUR SON
ATTENDED A PARTY AND NOW IT'S DONE 
CORONAVIRIS ONCE AGAIN WON

I SWEAR I COULD SING YOU THE NEW YORK TIMES
I BELIEVE THAT I COULD ~ IF YOU'D LET ME I WOULD
I WAS ALWAYS GOOD WITH THE BLUES

THESE DAYS ARE INSANE ~ WILL THE ONE'S THAT REMAIN ALL BE THE SAME?
WITH THE GOVERNMENT SENDING IN "DIAMOND DOGS" STUPIDLY "PUTTING OUT FIRE WITH GASOLINE"

"IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING" BUT "A CHANGE IS GONNA COME"
"KISS THE RAIN" "PURPLE RAIN" "PAINT IT BLACK" IT'S A "SIGN 'O' THE TIMES" 

I SWEAR I COULD SING YOU THE NEW YORK TIMES
I BELIEVE THAT I COULD ~ IF YOU'D LET ME I WOULD
I WAS ALWAYS GOOD WITH THE BLUES

I'LL SHOW YOU THE ASHES THAT ONCE WERE A MAN
THE BONES OF DEAD ANGELS AND WHERE THEY WOULD PLAY
ARE YOU FEELIN' LUCKY ~ WILL YOU GET AWAY?

ARE YOU FEELIN' LUCKY ~ DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CHARMED'? I'LL SHOW THE ASHES ~ COME TAKE MY ARM

I SWEAR I COULD SING YOU THE NEW YORK TIMES
I BELIEVE THAT I COULD ~ IF YOU'D LET ME I WOULD
I WAS ALWAYS GOOD WITH THE BLUES

"KISS THE RAIN" "PURPLE RAIN" "PAINT IT BLACK" IT'S A "SIGN 'O' THE TIMES"
