Old Black Dawning Lyrics - Frank Black

I hung around 

On the planet Mabel 

She tried to stand 

But she was not able 

She tried to find the truth 

She tried to colonize space 

She only had a few 

But it was a good race 

Old black dawning is coming on 

Old black dawning is coming on 

An old black dawning 

Old black dawning 

I'm always happy to 

Go down to Old Tucson 

After you had your fun 

It's time to move on 

I've got a favorite story 

About the Tower of Babel 

Some say it's true 

And some say it's a fable 

Old black dawning is coming on 

Old black dawning is coming on 

Old black dawning 

Old black dawning
