Doom And Gloom

"Doom and Gloom" is the lead single taken from GRRR!, the 50th anniversary compilation album by The Rolling Stones. It was premiered on BBC Radio 2 on 11 October 2012. This song marks the first time that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have been in the studio together for seven years, since the recording of their last album, A Bigger Bang. A lyric video was released on YouTube the same day.

[Verse 1] I had a dream last night I was piloting a plane And all the passengers were drunk and insane I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp Shot up a horde of zombies, but I come out on top [Pre-Chorus] What's it all about? Guess it just reflects my mood Sitting in the dirt Feeling kind of hurt [Chorus] When all I hear is doom and gloom With all this darkness in my room Through that light, your face, I see Baby, take a chance Baby, won't you dance with me? [Verse 2] We lost all that treasure in an overseas war Just goes to show you don't get what you paid for Bowing to the rich and you worry 'bout the poor Put my feet up on the couch and lock all the doors [Pre-Chorus] What's that funky noise? It's the tightening of their screws Sitting in the dirt Feeling kind of hurt [Chorus] All I hear is doom and gloom But when those drums go Boom, boom, boom Through that night, your face, I see Baby, take a chance Baby, won't you dance with me? Yeah, baby, won't you dance with me? Ah, yeah [Verse 3] Fracking deep for oil But there's nothing in the sump There's kids all picking at the garbage dump I'm running out of water, so I better prime the pump I'm trying to stay sober, but I end up drunk [Pre-Chorus] We'll be eating dirt Living on the side of the road There's some food for thought Gonna make your head explode Feeling kind of hurt, yeah [Chorus] But all I hear is doom and gloom With all this darkness in my room Through that night, your face I see Baby, take a chance Baby, won't you dance with me? [Outro] Yeah, come on Baby won't you dance with me? I'm feeling kind of hurt Baby, won't you dance with me? Oh yeah, sitting in the dirt Baby, won't you dance with me?
