Friday Market Blues

Monday morning, the opening bell Cast its old familiar spell The screen blinked red, a devil's grin Said, 'Here's the hole I'm gonna put you in.' Tuesday brought a rumor, a little spike of green The prettiest little lie I've ever seen Felt like sunshine, felt like rain Just a setup for the coming pain Oh, the Dow Jones gives and the Nasdaq takes away Leaves me broken by the end of the day

It's the Friday Blues, I got 'em bad and deep Lost another fortune in my sleep Every gain's a miracle, every drop's a curse And every single Friday, it just gets worse Wednesday was a landslide, a waterfall of fear Everything I'd built up for a year Vanished in a moment, a flicker on the glass Thought to myself, 'This too shall pass.' Then Thursday came a-climbin', a dead cat bounce for sure A moment of relief, but I'm not secure

'Cause I've seen that trick a hundred times before It's just the market teasing 'fore it slams the door Oh, the Dow Jones gives and the Nasdaq takes away Leaves me broken by the end of the day It's the Friday Blues, I got 'em bad and deep Lost another fortune in my sleep Every gain's a miracle, every drop's a curse And every single Friday, it just gets worse Thirty years I've watched this river flow Seen the bulls run wild and the bears lay low

I should be numb to it, I should be cold as stone But every tickin' number rattles in my bones I tell my wife it's business, a game of win and lose But she just sees the man who's married to the blues Oh, the Dow Jones gives and the Nasdaq takes away Leaves me broken by the end of the day It's the Friday Blues, I got 'em bad and deep Lost another fortune in my sleep Every gain's a miracle, every drop's a curse And every single Friday, it just gets worse
