Black Sheep

Black Sheep, come home
Black Sheep, come home
Black Sheep, come home
Black Sheep, come home
Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, everytime
Everyone, ooo, pulls away, ooo, from you
Got balls of steel, got an automobile for a minimum wage
Got real estate I'm buying it all up in outerspace
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls a way, ooo
It's a mechanical bull, the number one
You'll take a ride from anyone
Everyone wants a ride pulls away, oooh, from you
