Clouds of Guilt Songtext
von William Shatner

Clouds of guilt
Oh, it′s just the way I'm built
Clouds of guilt

Feel guilty when I leave
Feel guilty when I stay
Feel guilty when I′m down and out, and
When I'm overpaid
Feel guilty when I'm right
Feel guilty when I′m wrong
Even feel a pinch of guilt just singing you this song

Don′t ask me why it is
It's just the way I′m built
Even days of sunshine are dimmed
By clouds of guilt
And if these words don't rhyme
Or a bit of milk gets spilt
I find myself overshadowed
By heavy clouds of guilt


Clouds of guilt
Oh, it′s just the way I'm built
Under clouds of guilt

Feel guilty when I′m late
Or early to a ball
Strange to say, feel guiltiest when I've done nothing at all
Missed the funeral of a friend
That one stung for years
(I feel guilty) but stranger still, felt even worse for swallowing my tears

Don't ask me why it is
It′s just the way I′m built (guilty)
Even days of sunshine are dimmed (why?)
By clouds of guilt
And if these words don't rhyme
Or a bit of milk gets spilt
I find myself overshadowed
By heavy clouds of guilt

Clouds of guilt
Oh, it′s just the way I'm built
Clouds of guilt
Oh, it′s just the way I'm built


Is it some genetic flaw that is to blame?
Or old religious training steeped in shame?
I′m guilty of feeling guilty all the time
Wish there was a way to free my mind

Don't ask me why it is
It's just the way I′m built
Even days of sunshine are dimmed
By clouds of guilt
And if these words don′t rhyme (I feel guilty)
Or a bit of milk gets spilt
I find myself overshadowed
By heavy clouds of guilt (guilty)
Can never seem to get away (why?)
From all these clouds of guilt (clouds of guilt)

Oh, it's just the way I′m built
Under clouds of guilt
