Black Eye Lyrics

When I was young
I'd sit and swing in the sunshine
Then I'd fall and cry
I'd love to play with the pretty things
That I'd find and roll my eyes

As fast as I came
I went the long way home
It gave me time to think
That I'm only splitting pink
And maybe I'm just bored

You know the darker
The meat the sweeter the juice
Finding ecstasy, it changes you

I'm just getting older
My tongue is turning black
Time creeping over my shoulder
My eyes are turning black

It's never enough to slip
And slide in loves eye
Yes, I'd rather cry
I'd love to make those pretty things
That I find really come alive

And just as I came
I went the wrong way home
I'd love to find the meaning
Of the torture that I'm dreaming
Maybe there's no hope

I'm just getting older
My lips are turning black
Time creeping over my shoulder
My eyes are turning black
