Black Days III Lyrics

[Verse 1]
White lemon days
Blue-colored lines on your face
Devil in your best
Settling like death to the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Now loosening your grip
Feel the wheel slip from your hands
You've been walking the devil's dog
And carrying his groceries

[Chorus 1]
I fell on black days
Fell on black days
How would I know that this would be my fate?
How would I know that this would be my fate?
White lemon days

[Verse 2]
Love steal the schemes
Drive around like spaceships on bald tires
Burn the mother's milk
So another fog is in line

[Pre-Chorus]
Now getting the devil's kiss
And wipe the mother's kiss from my face
Keep a stiff upper lip
Spitting on my past to the pain
See Soundgarden Live
Get tickets as low as $80
[Chorus 2]
I fell on black days
I fell on black days
How would I know that this would be my fate?
How would I know that this would be my fate?
I fell on black days
I fell on black days
White lemon days

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
