Lyrics
Big Black Hole
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.
Well we were innocent and unafraid
In uncomplicated carefree days
So aloof and so blasé when we were young
Life was so much simpler then
We were surrounded by so many real men
Who thought their weakness was a strength
Oh how wrong they were
I'm gonna tell you something you might
not wanna hear
Gonna tell it straight my dear
It's the reason I am here
I'm gonna tell you something you might not wanna know
Show you somewhere you should go
Before you end up in a big black hole
Well I loved you then and I love you still
I admire your old-fashioned iron will
I can't stand here and watch you
go downhill without saying a word
It's the ancient game of tug-o-war
The immovable rock, the unstoppable force
It's time to cut the umbilical cord
and stand up on your own
You gotta get out
You gotta get out
