black & blue

Paloma Faith

I know a man who fills his emptiness with strangers
I know a girl who drinks herself to sleep at night
You can t change her
(Change her)
I know people who use chat rooms as confessionals
I know down and outs who once were
Once they were professionals
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don t roll your eyes my sweet

I know a single mother who loses her mind
On weekends
She pleads with lady luck on scratch cards
With money lent to her by old friends
I know people who take midnight drives for head space
I know what they d give for just one loving embrace
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don t roll your eyes my sweet

We re just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you ll find it hard
To accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don t roll your eyes my sweet

I know a rich man who has everything
You could wish for but children
I know an old lady who talks a lot
But could teach you if you listen
I know people who believe in gods and demons
I know ones who think there s nothing there at all
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don t roll your eyes my sweet

We re just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you ll find it hard
To accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue
Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don t roll your eyes my sweet

Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don t roll your eyes my sweet.
