Black Out On White Night - Sage Francis[00:00:00]
Lights are out phones are dead[00:00:34]
And I'm the only thing that's runnin in this city[00:00:36]
Except for the clouds[00:00:38]
And man they're comin down[00:00:39]
If i knew my way around wouldn't feel so dizzy[00:00:41]
Where's tele nobody can tell me[00:00:44]
I don't speak a lick of that language and got a slippery memory[00:00:46]
If i spelled it all out on my arm only if[00:00:50]
But i didn't so i think get a grip kid deal with it[00:00:53]
Baby's waiting for a ring[00:00:55]
Won't settle for the substitute excuse that's forming[00:00:57]
I got a complicated case of escapism[00:01:00]
For her i try to rewire my nature[00:01:03]
Too tired to wake her up[00:01:05]
Odder that artificial calm she was on[00:01:07]
Drug-induced future that slipped out of her palms[00:01:09]
Seductive rain dancer she thinks i'm waterproof[00:01:12]
Like superman doesn't need a roof over his head[00:01:15]
When i come home to roost i need truth to hold in bed[00:01:17]
But i'm seeking salvation in a booth[00:01:21]
And the phones are dead[00:01:22]
And the lights are out[00:01:24]
And i'm the only thing livin in this ghost town[00:01:26]
Except for the clouds and man they're comin down[00:01:28]
If i knew my way around by now i'd be bound for home[00:01:30]
Blackout on white night in rome[00:01:35]
Blackout on white night in rome[00:01:38]
I know that i'm in love but i know i'm out of touch[00:02:02]
And i know that i get dumb when i can sense something's up[00:02:05]
And then i bottom out[00:02:08]
European tailspins[00:02:09]
Scrolling messages out on my pale skin[00:02:10]
In hopes that they get mailed in[00:02:12]
Before the ink poisoning takes effect[00:02:14]
And it gets smudged because i budge before letting paint set[00:02:16]
I get judged by the ones who have shelter and rain checks[00:02:18]
While i trudge through the mud cuz its pouring to rain sweat[00:02:22]
Regain consciousness and lose common sense[00:02:25]
The ominous dark skies that lie between me[00:02:27]
And providence are signs[00:02:30]
The obvious answer isn't standin on your face with stilettos on[00:02:31]
If you pop the question wrong[00:02:34]
Every song's a post afterthought[00:02:36]
I won't grab the chalk to outline my body of work[00:02:38]
Toe-tags get caught in my teeth[00:02:41]
Cuz my foot is in my mouth[00:02:43]
And spurs are in my words so my tongue can't dismount[00:02:44]
Even after our rapport had fully run its course[00:02:46]
Couldn't figure out the most heroic time to jump from the horse[00:02:49]
And place this old hat for the last time[00:02:53]
On the coat rack[00:02:55]
But i donate all of my earnings from this race[00:02:56]
Just to know that[00:02:58]
Resisting urges to go back and get it later[00:03:00]
Like the milk wouldn't sour itself in the refrigerator[00:03:01]
A wet boy[00:03:03]
In a dry dry state[00:03:05]
On an old country road[00:03:07]
Where tradition has a blind date[00:03:08]
I make it dance on its own grave tonight[00:03:09]
With a change of direction by the pale moon light[00:03:12]
And if it needs theme music i'll break out the bagpipes[00:03:14]
And play a tune a ghost wrote me in a past life[00:03:17]
That goes like[00:03:20]
