| Twenty-seven years old
|
| She could not keep control
|
| Of her broken-hearted soul
|
| And the reckless way she go
|
| Shaking that gutter tambourine
|
| And a 57 microphone
|
| Black beehive, tattooed arms
|
| Singing that soul song can’t go on
|
| Red flower in her hair
|
| Tragic twenty-seven she rolls like
|
| Janis and Jimi running down drinks
|
| Black beehive I miss you so
|
| Sassy as any supreme, her eyes as black as coal
|
| Walked away and the sun went down
|
| Singin' that soul song till no one’s around
|
| Back to black was
|
| Her kind of rhythm and blues
|
| Fade out to black was
|
| Her kind of rhythm and blues
|
| Lay your lamp down low
|
| Suicide doors on that Lincoln
|
| Take in that final drag, well
|
| You’re so intoxicating
|
| And the evening’s afterglow
|
| Turns into a bad hangover
|
| Black beehive
|
| Ten thousand demons
|
| You cheated yourself but you had your reasons
|
| Back to black was
|
| Her kind of rhythm and blues
|
| Fade out to black was
|
| Her kind of rhythm and blues
|
| Back to black
|
| She had nothing but the whole world to lose
|
| Fade out to black was
|
| Her kind of rhythm and blues |
