BLACK AS COAL
I dug many tunnels
Just as many did I go through
But down I fell into a well
Black as coal (2)
Ran and ran to find the light
Yet all I could see was fire
Runaway trains on powdery tracks
Cotton candy named desire (bis)
Look at my hands, look at my skin
My arms are slotted like a spoon
My skull is full of dirty holes
Black as coal (bis)
And I fell into a well
Black as coal (4)
I slept and slept just to forget
The more you lose, the more you get
No way to see beyond the trees
Burning bush against secret keys (bis)
I swallowed my pride and whisky
A hundred miles of blah-blah-blah
Squawking crows came to rescue me
Black as coal (4)
I dug many tunnels
Just as many did I go through
But I fell into a well
Black as coal, black like coal
Some day maybe I’ll build a home
With iron windows underground
No view, no pain, nothing at all
Black as coal (4)
