Coal Black Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a scarecrow in the field
But it don't scare those crows away
I'm so happy on my own at home
I listen to the static of my record player
Sometimes you have to have a break
Feed the ducks out on the lake
All I want to do is make you smile
But I'm not that funny and I can't seem to stay awake
Coal black heart that is as lifeless as a statue in the Royal Academy of Art
I saw your face in the mirror
Memories of a bygone era
Coal black heart that is as lifeless as a statue in the Royal Academy of Art
I saw your face in the mirror
Memories of a bygone era
I was as blue as the Caspian Sea
Hanging out in my vicinity
Got a feeling this will end, so soon
You're moving to the San Francisco scene
Crimson heart that's as lifeless as a statue in the Royal Academy of Art
I need to know that you're happy
I need to know that you're happy
Crimson heart that is beating in my ear and I don't know where to start
I need to know that you're happy
I need to know that you're happy
Oooh (x8)
