Black Book

I found you alone and the place smelled of booze You looked like a right picture me a wretched fool

You walked like a social worker in need of a break They grilled you like a broken preacher who ran out of faith

Gonna put you in their black book Gonna get you on your way down

They're gonna get you on your back foot Gonna get you when you're down down down

Get you when you're down You when you're down Get you when you're down

You lost your habitation and you needed a friend A messed up and a strong willed child no direction no plans

We talked about novels and the cocktails were free And you were in some kind of trouble but trouble found me

Gonna put you in their black book Gonna get you on your way down

They're gonna get you on your back foot Gonna get you when you're down down down

Now that you're under their microscope you can't run and hide

They see all of the wrong paths you took there in the whites of your eyes

I would carry you babe Carry you through the hurt But we can't keep pretending and thrashing 'round in this dirt

Beautiful are the children that we'll never have They're better off in afterlife considering what we shared

Gonna put you in their black book Gonna get you on your way down

They're gonna get you on your last hook Gonna get you when you're down down down

Get you when you're down You when you're down Get you when you're down

Get you when you're down You when you're down Get you when you're down
