I met her accidentally It was at the Cambridge Science Fair And she was so impressed I could make so many things catch on fire But I was just covered in bubbles of methane gas And you ended up burning I'm sorry I have always been a liar Just to think I could've left the fair with my dignity intact And fled from the stage with the world's second-best Slint tribute act Okay, today, I hide away But tomorrow, I take the reins Still living with my mother As I move from one micro-influencer to another References, references, references What are you on tonight? I love this city, despite the burden of preferences What a time to be alive, oh I know where I'm going, it's black country out there I saw you undressing It was at the Cirque du Soleil And it was such an intimate performance I swear to God you looked right at me And let a silk red ribbon fall between your hands But as I slowly sobered I felt the rubbing of shoulders SongtexteI smelled the sweat and the children crying I was just one among crowded stands And still with sticky hands I bolted through the gallery With cola stains on my best white shirt And nothing to lose, oh, I was born to run It's black country out there It's black country out there It's black country out there Aus Songtexte Mania
