[Verse 1]
I put on my clothes like a bodyguard
I put the dogs on patrol in my own backyard
I don't want to fight but I'm constantly ready
And I don't rock the boat but it's always unsteady
There's an elephant in my head and I tiptoe around it
There are eggshells on the floor therefore I never touch the ground
[Chorus]
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
You set out each day never to arrive
[Verse 2]
I got my eyes on the prize but it looks just like a mystery
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
I'm drawing the blinds, I've got my own four walls
Man, the show really starts once the curtain falls
Take this thorn from my side, fix this chip on my shoulder
Time is racing with the clock and I ain't getting any older
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
[Chorus]
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
You set out each day never to arrive
I put on my clothes like a bodyguard
I put the dogs on patrol in my own backyard
I don't want to fight but I'm constantly ready
And I don't rock the boat but it's always unsteady
There's an elephant in my head and I tiptoe around it
There are eggshells on the floor therefore I never touch the ground
[Chorus]
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
You set out each day never to arrive
[Verse 2]
I got my eyes on the prize but it looks just like a mystery
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
I'm drawing the blinds, I've got my own four walls
Man, the show really starts once the curtain falls
Take this thorn from my side, fix this chip on my shoulder
Time is racing with the clock and I ain't getting any older
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
[Chorus]
It's like that old black hole, no matter how you try
You set out each day never to arrive
