Black Sheep Boy # 4 |
| Bleeding black sheep boy |
| Mirror in pieces |
| Turn the receiver |
| Trace the police station |
| Line to my number |
| And number my reasons |
| For this paranoia |
| For these accusations |
| Each night the numbers |
| Paired off like lovers |
| Collided together |
| So I can’t remember |
| My name or my nation |
| Baying black sheep boy |
| Go back beyond the pasture |
| You cracked out of my head |
| Get in your battered Mustang |
| And the back seat will be your bed |
| Burning black sheep boy |
| Dark denim phantom |
| Face full of flames |
| The ears full of cheers that have fanned them |
| I’d slice off the horns that sprung right from those temples |
| I was chased from my bedroom |
| I was chased from my candles |
| By fear of the numbers |
| Paired off like lovers |
| Collided together |
| So I can’t remember |
| My face or my station |
| Pacing black sheep boy |
| The floor just won’t support you |
| You hovered through the room |
| Get in your battered Mustang |
| And the backseat will be your tomb |
| And I rode into Baltimore |
| And I found a hotel room |
| Where I tried to escape you |
| But the phone line wouldn’t go through |
| And inside the mirror |
| Well I saw you stamping |
| Staring out |
| I’d recognize your eyes |
| You fell for any of the lines that come flying out |
| Nothing I’ve heard from you sounds sane or safe |
| Words falling down from the ceiling |
| Where the mirror is stealing |
| The light to reveal us both tonight |
| And we’re both kneeling in the |
| Black pool of your shadow |
| You’ve cracked out of my head |
| Go back beyond the pasture |
| Where I’ll smash your mirror |
| Till you’re dead |
