Black Satin (Live at The Chapter Room) Lyrics

I watch as all around me

The streets they shred to pieces

There's black in every window

And the man he's full of shit

And it goes with every blow

I may not be a profit

But I can see with my own two eyes

Junkies flood the city lights

And beg just to survive

The cycle comes around

It feeds off my home town

Black satin fills the sky

Black satin on her knees

Everybody dies

It's all black satin

You can fool some with illusions

But I can see right through your games

Your events are fueled by pretty lies

Tomorrow may be different

But it sure feels the same

Oh, what a crying shame

I wanna know who's to blame

Black satin fills the sky

Black satin on her knees

Everybody dies

It's all black satin

There's a girl on every corner

Who's been done wrong by her man

She's been playin' with the honkies

Tell me, when's this gonna end?

Black satin fills the sky

Black satin on her knees

Black satin in the air

Black satin when you breathe

No wonders why

Black satin covers me

Everybody's fucked

It's all black satin
