“The Curse” originated as an unreleased demo Cornell recorded for the 1992 Cameron Crowe film Singles titled “Ferry Boat #3”. The lyrics remain mostly unchanged, but the chord structure is very different.
[Verse 1]
Help me I don't know what I'm doing
Help me before I fall to ruin
And if I'm blind, I will lead you on
Come follow me now before our time is gone
[Chorus]
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might choose to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never be your curse, never be your curse
[Verse 2]
Help me I don't know what I'm saying
Sometimes this tongue can be betraying
And if I'm wrong, is that such a crime?
And if you want, you can set my words to right
[Chorus]
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might choose to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never be your curse, never be your curse
[Verse 3]
And if your eyes forget to well
And if your lies forget to tell
And if our paths forget to cross
It doesn't mean you're lost
[Chorus]
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might choose to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never be your curse, never be your curse
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might choose to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never be your curse, never be your curse
