Black Sheep by Eyelight Lyrics
[Intro]
Black sheep, black sheep
Tell me, why'd you grow so fast?
Black sheep, black sheep
We all knew you wouldn't last, in the streets, in the sheets
Eyes on the prize, legs spread for green
Black sheep, black sheep
You think you're strong, we know you're weak
[Verse 1]
Listen dear, hear my words
I've had enough, too much
No fucks
I'm getting sick of child's play
At the end of the day, nothing's changed
[Chorus]
Black sheep, black sheep
Lay your head, go back to sleep
Black sheep, black sheep
Eyes red and now you you'll weep
Little girl had it all, thrown away and now it’s gone
You chose your destiny
Blame it on me, or your disease
[Verse 2]
Break my wrist, and blow a kiss, crazy bitch
You’re so sick
A lifetime in, and your skin’s still so thin
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my god, oh my god
The drugs are eating you alive
How did you become so deprived
[Chorus]
Black sheep, black sheep
Lay your head, go back to sleep
Black sheep, black sheep
Eyes red and now you you'll weep
Little girl had it all, thrown away and now it’s gone
You chose your destiny
Blame it on me or your disease
[Post-Chorus]
Black sheep, there's more
Look right at the door
White lines, stained glass
Your name will never last
Black sheep, there's more
Dance with the edge, don’t be afraid of your own grave
Black sheep, there’s more to life you'll never see
[Bridge]
I stared into your eyes and saw nothing but black
The darkest window with no warmth and flashed back
And who knows where you could be if you didn't turn into stone
Suffered to the end
Cheers to you, old friend
[Outro]
Cheers to you, old friend
I pray we never, meet, again
Black sheep, black sheep
Tell me, why'd you grow so fast?
Black sheep, black sheep
We all knew you wouldn't last, in the streets, in the sheets
Eyes on the prize, legs spread for green
Black sheep, black sheep
You think you're strong, we know you're weak
[Verse 1]
Listen dear, hear my words
I've had enough, too much
No fucks
I'm getting sick of child's play
At the end of the day, nothing's changed
[Chorus]
Black sheep, black sheep
Lay your head, go back to sleep
Black sheep, black sheep
Eyes red and now you you'll weep
Little girl had it all, thrown away and now it’s gone
You chose your destiny
Blame it on me, or your disease
[Verse 2]
Break my wrist, and blow a kiss, crazy bitch
You’re so sick
A lifetime in, and your skin’s still so thin
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my god, oh my god
The drugs are eating you alive
How did you become so deprived
[Chorus]
Black sheep, black sheep
Lay your head, go back to sleep
Black sheep, black sheep
Eyes red and now you you'll weep
Little girl had it all, thrown away and now it’s gone
You chose your destiny
Blame it on me or your disease
[Post-Chorus]
Black sheep, there's more
Look right at the door
White lines, stained glass
Your name will never last
Black sheep, there's more
Dance with the edge, don’t be afraid of your own grave
Black sheep, there’s more to life you'll never see
[Bridge]
I stared into your eyes and saw nothing but black
The darkest window with no warmth and flashed back
And who knows where you could be if you didn't turn into stone
Suffered to the end
Cheers to you, old friend
[Outro]
Cheers to you, old friend
I pray we never, meet, again
