Black Lashes Lyrics

Black lashes that hide the pain

Tattooed on a red blood stain

Flood gates mind the backwater flow

Nicotine and espresso

Locked in what the ego denies

Quietude and a clever disguise

Mind steady before the quake

Razor blades in the cake

Everywhere you go I go

Looking upon tomorrow

Lined up like a domino

Black lashes in the shadow

You were such a clever kid

Doing better than your parents did

Scaling towers without a sweat

Conducting choirs with a cigarette

Now the world has found its way

Charlatans in the shadow play

Left alone with your simian mind

And the thoughts are unkind

Everywhere you go

Looking upon tomorrow

Lined up like a domino

Black lashes in the shadow

Everywhere you go

Looking upon tomorrow

Lined up like a domino

Black lashes in the shadow
