Lirik That Old Black Hole (Live)
That Old Black Hole - Dr. Dog
Written by：Scott McMicken/Toby Leaman
I put on my clothes like a body guard
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
I don't want to 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 tiptoe around it
There are egg shells on the floor
Therefor 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 eye on the prize
But it looks just like the mystery
And it all goes by on
The lonesome trail to victory
I'm drawing the blinds
I've got my own four walls
Man 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
You set that old black hole
No matter how you try
You set 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 a mystery in the dark
Oh it's
Just another kind of light
I don't expect you do 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
Oh I don't even know what it is
Well I don't know how to say it
But I know that I can show you
I said I don't know how to say it
But I know that I can show you
I tied my boots up tight
And I head straight to 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
There ain't to way around it
I was not prepared to lose
It all the moment that
I found it
It's like that old black hole
No matter how you try
You set that old black hole
No matter how you try
You set that old black hole
No matter how you try
You set out each day
Never to arrive
