Black Sheep Boy #4
Lyricist:Tim Hardin
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 remember My name or my nation, bay 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 remember Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 cracked out of my head Go back beyond the pasture Where I'll smash your mirror Till you're dead
