big black nothing
fooling everyone
big black nothing
put a halo round what you've done
because a big black nothing
is coming up
would you be my
would you still be my friend
if i told you
it's all just pretend
because a big black nothing
is not the end
sing me something
something i can feel
sing it louder
the whole world has to hear
because a big black nothing
was made to appeal
lock the doors
hide the keys
flipping channels
through the streets
all this news just makes me scared of you
board up the windows
unplug the phone
make it look like nobodies home
i am very scared
but so prepared for the worst
big black nothing
fooling everyone
big black nothing
put a halo round what you've done
because a big black nothing
is coming up
