That Old Black Hole Lyrics - Singles - Dr. Dog

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 its 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 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 its 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 out each day 

Never to arrive
