Misery is a mistress And she keeps me company Under the dirty sun Soakin' up my old love You're confident and clean Your conscience and esteem But not me I'm filthy and afraid of everything Dirty sun's gonna shine down on me Heaven is a place Where I can ease my body and mind Too many times i have wondered why My peace is traded away for wine that's lost the taste And maybe, just maybe I could be what I am not Maybe this is true love This is the sound of defeat This is the sound of defeat Confident and clean Your conscience and esteem But not me I'm filthy and afraid of everything And the sun's gonna shine down on me Let it shine down Let it shine down Let it shine down
