Dave Stewart & Mick Jagger Blind Leading the Blind lyrics

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
And it's near the break of day
And you're running out options
And running out of place

The leaves are cracking
Withered on the trees
I beg you darling
Won't you say a prayer for me

I need your benediction
'Cause I'm a soul in need
And 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
Oh, like the blind leading the blind
Time after time, you won't let the love in, yeah

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 honey from your tongue
But you never know what's waiting for you
When the day is done

There is a sadness grinding in your bones
A twisted trap down, you're forced to go
You need the hand of friendship to steady up your heart
So hang on to me closely and I'll show you down the path

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, nothing, yeah

Ooh, like the blind leading the blind
After the wine, oh, your tears they are gushing, oh
Just like the blind leading the blind
Time after time, you won't let the love in, ooh, ooh

Just like the blind leading the blind
Leading the blind
Oh, yeah, oh, come on
Just like the blind leading the blind
