I'm addicted to feeling
Stealing love isn't stealing
Can't you see that I understand you mind?
I'm a walking believe I'm a ghost and a healer
I'm the shape of the hole inside your heart
Not looking for a brighter side
Crooked steps will take me higher
I don't care if you want to cry
I'm a soldier for hire
Killing all you admire
And you live in denial
But that will change
Not looking for a brighter side crooked steps will take me higher
I don't care if you want to cry
When blood is raining down it cuts a deep deep river
And we're diving yeah we're diving
My crooked steps right behind you my crooked steps right
behind you my crooked steps right behind you my crooked
Steps right behind you right behind you right behind you right behind you

I'm a soldier for hire/Killing all you admire
SG gets mathy again, a la “Spoon Man,” but “By Crooked Steps” fails to live up to its predecessor. A string of cliches from Cornell and a droning riff that fails to invigorate or entrance leaves this song feeling a bit like filler – it’ll probably go in the middle of their set for the reunion tour.
