《Black Out On White Night(Cd)》歌词

[00:00:00] Black Out On White Night - Sage Francis

[00:00:34] Lights are out phones are dead

[00:00:36] And I'm the only thing that's runnin in this city

[00:00:38] Except for the clouds

[00:00:39] And man they're comin down

[00:00:41] If i knew my way around wouldn't feel so dizzy

[00:00:44] Where's tele nobody can tell me

[00:00:46] I don't speak a lick of that language and got a slippery memory

[00:00:50] If i spelled it all out on my arm only if

[00:00:53] But i didn't so i think get a grip kid deal with it

[00:00:55] Baby's waiting for a ring

[00:00:57] Won't settle for the substitute excuse that's forming

[00:01:00] I got a complicated case of escapism

[00:01:03] For her i try to rewire my nature

[00:01:05] Too tired to wake her up

[00:01:07] Odder that artificial calm she was on

[00:01:09] Drug-induced future that slipped out of her palms

[00:01:12] Seductive rain dancer she thinks i'm waterproof

[00:01:15] Like superman doesn't need a roof over his head

[00:01:17] When i come home to roost i need truth to hold in bed

[00:01:21] But i'm seeking salvation in a booth

[00:01:22] And the phones are dead

[00:01:24] And the lights are out

[00:01:26] And i'm the only thing livin in this ghost town

[00:01:28] Except for the clouds and man they're comin down

[00:01:30] If i knew my way around by now i'd be bound for home

[00:01:35] Blackout on white night in rome

[00:01:38] Blackout on white night in rome

[00:02:02] I know that i'm in love but i know i'm out of touch

[00:02:05] And i know that i get dumb when i can sense something's up

[00:02:08] And then i bottom out

[00:02:09] European tailspins

[00:02:10] Scrolling messages out on my pale skin

[00:02:12] In hopes that they get mailed in

[00:02:14] Before the ink poisoning takes effect

[00:02:16] And it gets smudged because i budge before letting paint set

[00:02:18] I get judged by the ones who have shelter and rain checks

[00:02:22] While i trudge through the mud cuz its pouring to rain sweat

[00:02:25] Regain consciousness and lose common sense

[00:02:27] The ominous dark skies that lie between me

[00:02:30] And providence are signs

[00:02:31] The obvious answer isn't standin on your face with stilettos on

[00:02:34] If you pop the question wrong

[00:02:36] Every song's a post afterthought

[00:02:38] I won't grab the chalk to outline my body of work

[00:02:41] Toe-tags get caught in my teeth

[00:02:43] Cuz my foot is in my mouth

[00:02:44] And spurs are in my words so my tongue can't dismount

[00:02:46] Even after our rapport had fully run its course

[00:02:49] Couldn't figure out the most heroic time to jump from the horse

[00:02:53] And place this old hat for the last time

[00:02:55] On the coat rack

[00:02:56] But i donate all of my earnings from this race

[00:02:58] Just to know that

[00:03:00] Resisting urges to go back and get it later

[00:03:01] Like the milk wouldn't sour itself in the refrigerator

[00:03:03] A wet boy

[00:03:05] In a dry dry state

[00:03:07] On an old country road

[00:03:08] Where tradition has a blind date

[00:03:09] I make it dance on its own grave tonight

[00:03:12] With a change of direction by the pale moon light

[00:03:14] And if it needs theme music i'll break out the bagpipes

[00:03:17] And play a tune a ghost wrote me in a past life

[00:03:20] That goes like
