Black Sheep Of The Family

Dio / Hammond

I`ve got nothing in my head
Got a floor for a bed
The future`s at the bottom of a tea cup

I got a half a pair of shoes
And no time to lose
I`m wondering when I`m going to wise up

So, fortune shine your light on me and my clothes
Cause we need some security
You get a little bad luck
And it grows and it grows
I`m the black sheep of the family

I`ve got half a pound of rice
A beard full of lice
A mission called retrogression

I`ve got pocket full of dust
And eating is a must
You want to make a good impression

So, fortune shine your light on me and my dog
Cause we need some security
While all the folks are living high up the hill
I`m the black sheep of the family

Don`t talk to me about society
You got to pay the rules
Or pay the penalty

Because there`s nothing to choose
Between a handful of blues
Double indemnity

The hour was wrong
And my shadow`s getting long
My real life`s a song, don`t need much
But I`ve got an ache in my head
I wanna go to bed
Tomorrow I don`t have to wake up, no

So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
Cause it`s true what they say about familiarity
There`s nothing good this way
And it`s true they say
I`m the black sheep of the family

Oh, my wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
It`s true what they say about familiarity
There`s nothing good this way
And it`s true they say
I`m the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah

I`m the black sheep of the family
Just me and my dog, yeah, yeah
I`m the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I`m the black sheep of the family
You`ve got me on my knees
I`m the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah, yeah
