Right Turn Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jerry Cantrell]
Inside, always trying to get back inside
But it's so hard to penetrate pig-thick skin
[Verse 2: Chris Cornell]
I'm 'bout as low as I can get
I'd leave, but I can't forget
Still, I wonder why it ain't right
Mmm, it ain't right, ooh, ain't right
Mmm, it ain't right, yeah
[Verse 3: Layne Staley]
'Bout as low as she can get
She'll leave me, but she won't forget
And she wonders why she ain't right
She ain't right, ain't right
She ain't right
[Bridge: Mark Arm]
Now we're as low as we can get
Can't leave and can't forget
We ain't right, we ain't right, not right
We ain't right
[Outro: All]
Well, it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you (It ain't right)
When you can see you were only high (It ain't right)
It's all up to you, so you gamble (It ain't right)
Flat on your face and into the fire (It ain't right)
Well, it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you (It ain't right)
When you can see you were only high (It ain't right)
It's all up to you, so you gamble (It ain't right)
Flat on your face and into the fire (It ain't right)
Inside, always trying to get back inside
But it's so hard to penetrate pig-thick skin
[Verse 2: Chris Cornell]
I'm 'bout as low as I can get
I'd leave, but I can't forget
Still, I wonder why it ain't right
Mmm, it ain't right, ooh, ain't right
Mmm, it ain't right, yeah
[Verse 3: Layne Staley]
'Bout as low as she can get
She'll leave me, but she won't forget
And she wonders why she ain't right
She ain't right, ain't right
She ain't right
[Bridge: Mark Arm]
Now we're as low as we can get
Can't leave and can't forget
We ain't right, we ain't right, not right
We ain't right
[Outro: All]
Well, it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you (It ain't right)
When you can see you were only high (It ain't right)
It's all up to you, so you gamble (It ain't right)
Flat on your face and into the fire (It ain't right)
Well, it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you (It ain't right)
When you can see you were only high (It ain't right)
It's all up to you, so you gamble (It ain't right)
Flat on your face and into the fire (It ain't right)
