Black Caffeine

I like it black, just black as night
It keeps me up, it keeps me tight
It don't matter the size of the cup
Just as long as you fill it up
With black caffeine
Keeps me lean
You can hear me scream
Give me black caffeine
Oh I've got a monkey sittin' on my back
Now, wouldn't you know, he likes it black
Don't need no cream, no nicotine
All that monkey need is the black caffeine
More black caffeine
It keeps me lean
You can hear him scream
Give me black caffeine
Give me black caffeine
I'm sound in body, I'm sound in mind
Until it comes to my coffee time
Don't stand in my way, don't hold me back
Just keep it hot and keep it black
Good black caffeine
It keeps me lean
You can hear me scream
Give me black caffeine
The devil said, I want your soul
I want your silver, I need your gold
Well you can have it, anything I've got
But don't let him near my coffee pot
Full of black caffeine
It keeps me lean
Can you hear me scream?
Give me black caffeine
More black caffeine
It keeps me lean
Can you hear me scream?
More black caffeine
More black caffeine
Yeah, black caffeine
