[Verse 1]
Take me to that place
Yeah, your lookout spot
Where you can see the city lights
And the cliff drops off
I've got unfinished business there
With the statues up on the wall
How're you gonna sit there like your shit don't stink
While I was underage, scared and being offered a drink
You saw everything that night
Through your eyeballs made of stone
And you didn't care at all

[Chorus]
I thought that if I asked nicely and politely
I'd get a bit of quiet in my mind, I'm writing
Major big letters in the street baby
A neon S.O.S is glowin' in the streets, baby
But I never get that lucky
I'm still strugglin'
To pick the pieces up after this bomb and I think
I have cracked the code for this pain, baby
Been in the dark but now I think I finally know

[Refrain]
I can see clearly now that karma's lazy
I can see clearly now what I've been chasin' (Ah)
I can see clearly now the time I'm wastin' (Oh)
I can see clearly now that karma's lazy (Ah)
[Verse 2]
Bad things don't always happen to bad people
Forces that be, please get this unchecked evil
My hair's fallin' out while he plays with his kids
His loving wife who won't know what he did
Each day I'm getting more distant and shy
While he's out there living an untarnished life
Would I be glad if he ceased to exist?
No, I'd still be fucked up
I wouldn't care at all

[Chorus]
I thought that if I asked nicely and politely
I'd get a bit of quiet in my mind, I'm writing
Major big letters in the street baby
A neon S.O.S is glowin' in the streets, baby
But I never get that lucky
I'm still strugglin'
To pick the pieces up after this bomb and I think
I have cracked the code for this pain, baby
Been in the dark but now I think I finally know

[Refrain]
I can see clearly now that karma's lazy
I can see clearly now what I've been chasin' (Ah)
I can see clearly now the time I'm wastin' (Oh)
I can see clearly now that karma's lazy (Ah)
[Outro]
A neon S.O.S is glowin' in my streets, baby
I think I finally know
Don't ever come this way
And if you do
I guess I'll tell them what you've done, baby
