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
