That Old Black Hole

Dr. Dog

I put on my clothes like a body guard I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady There's an elephant in my head And I tip toe around it There are eggshells on the floor Therefore I never touch the ground It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try, You set out each day Never to arrive I got my eyes on the prize But it looks just like a mystery And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls And the show really starts once the curtain falls Take this thorn from my side Fix this chip on my shoulder Time is racing with the clock And I ain't getting any older It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try, You set out each day Never to arrive I put on my finest thread And I wrap up my body tight With the sun in my eyes I step into the night Like the mystery in the dark Oh, it's just another kind of light I don't expect you to believe me But everything is alright I don't make rules for a living I don't do tricks for a dime I was born on a good day, Deaf, dumb and blind. Who am I to tell the truth? I don't even know what it is. I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you. I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you. I tie my boots up tight And I head straight for bed There's a pistol and a crystal Underneath my pillow There's a tender heart Inside that ugly armadillo "These are tears of joy," Cried the weeping willow There's a spirit in the air And there ain't no way around it I was not prepared to lose it On the moment that I found it It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try, You set out each day Never to arrive --- That Old Black Hole - Dr. Dog
