Black Sheep

Bop-bop-ba-da-ba
A bucking black sheep from the start
I left the hearth a pile of rocks
I stamped and kicked warm cockles cold
Trampled every mountaintop
I got so high, I stabbed the sun
Tore a hole the size of God
I knocked the lights out of the moon
She never did me any good
She never woke to watch me break the morning
At her wake, I was right up front applauding
I hijacked beauty from the sky
So I could snap her helpless wings
Pushed her face down in the mud
Tattooed her with my black ink
I wanted to disgust her with my sordid little history
But she looked me in the eyes and said
She saw herself somewhere in me

I said, "I never knew you told such pretty lies
Last one to that grey horizon dies"
Bop-bop-ba-da-ba
"I never knew you told such pretty lies
Pretty, pretty intoxicating lies"
And when we came around, I let her cross that line
