Uncle Tupelo

Black Eye

Lyricist:Jeffrey Scott Tweedy

He had a black eye he was proud of
Like some of his friends
It made him feel somewhere outside
Of everything and everywhere he'd been

Like his brothers, he emptied himself and played it safe
Like their father, he wanted to remember
But he almost always forgot what he was gonna say
Black eye, black eye

When he realized that this one was here to stay
He took down all the mirrors in the hallway
And thought only of his younger face
Black eye, black eye
