|
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. |
