Outer Space Black Lyrics

You showed me a portrait

of the people in the square

Standing there making up plans

And you got the faces down

But everybody's wearing mittens

You say that's because it's winter

But I know you can't draw hands

The simplest secrets

we swallow the deepest

But you can't keep anything down

And now the inspectors

With metal detectors

Are crawling all over

And won't leave till you spit it out

I don't need to drink it

But maybe just a little sip

Couldn't kill me

If I promise not to swallow it

Then it doesn't really count

It doesn't count

And they tell me I'm spineless

Who am I to argue?

I think that might start to explain

My terrible posture

And the fact that I don't shiver

I can see my fingers touch you

But the signals can't find my brain

And it's perfect as poison

But maybe just a little sip

Couldn't kill me

If I promise not to swallow it

Then it doesn't really count

It doesn't really count

On a night when you're dressed tight

In outer space black

We will drink from this bottle

And tip our heads back

So that sins may be forgotten

Forever and ever and ever

And eight times infinity

And longer than that

But maybe just a little sip

Couldn't kill me

If I promise not to swallow it

Then it doesn't really count

It doesn't really count

It doesn't really count
