That Old Black Hole

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
