The Black Crowes
Cross Your Fingers
Call down lightning
Rain and thunder
Leave them ashes
All go under
Cross your fingers, hope I die
So cross your fingers, hope I die
Cross your fingers, hope I die
So cross your fingers
Well, I stand accused on the shore of a stormy sea
And I have been abused for the visions that I see
And I survived the bullet you shot right through my heart
And in this crime, I have surely taken part
Why you wanna do it to me? Why you wanna try?
Why you wanna hurt me, baby? Why you wanna lie?
Why you always smiling, baby? Why I always cry?
Why you want to cross your fingers? Why you hope I die?
Ooh yeah, now listen
I've been made to suffеr for your indignities
And I've forsaken kindnеss, for there is none for me
Said you gave me madness and on this, you told me to feed
And I've been cast aside for the truth that I believe
Why you wanna do it to me? Why you wanna try?
Why you wanna hurt me, baby? Why you wanna lie? (Oh, why?)
Why you always smiling, baby? Why I always cry?
Why you want to cross your fingers? Why you hope I die? (Oh, why?)
Cross your fingers, hope I die
Cross your fingers (cross your fingers)
Said cross your fingers, hope I die
Cross your fingers (cross your fingers)
Why you wanna do it to me? (Why?) Why you wanna try?
Why you wanna hurt me, baby? (Why?) Why you wanna lie?
(Cross your fingers)
Why you always smiling, baby? Why I always cry? (Oh, why?)
Why you want to cross your fingers? Why you hope I die? (Oh, why?)
Why you wanna do it to me? Why you wanna try? (Call down lightning)
Why you wanna hurt me, baby? Why you wanna lie? (Rain and thunder)
Why you always smiling, baby? Why I always cry? (Call down lightning)
Why you want to cross your fingers? Why you hope I die? (Rain and thunder)
