Black Rider

Lyrics

Black rider, black rider, you've been livin' too hard
 Been up all night, have to stay on your guard
 The path that you're walkin', too narrow to walk
 Every step of the way, another stumblin' block
 The road that you're on, same road that you know
 Just not the same as it was a minute ago
 ♪
 Black rider, black rider, you've seen it all
 You've seen the great world and you've seen the small
 You fell into the fire and you're eating the flame
 Better seal up your lips if you wanna stay in the game
 Be reasonable, mister, be honest, be fair
 Let all of your earthly thoughts be a prayer
 ♪
 Black rider, black rider, all dressed in black
 I'm walkin' away, you try to make me look back
 My heart is at rest, I'd like to keep it that way
 I don't wanna fight, at least not today
 Go home to your wife, stop visiting mine
 One of these days I'll forget to be kind
 ♪
 Black rider, black rider, tell me when, tell me how
 If there ever was a time, then let it be now
 Let me go through, open the door
 My soul is distressed, my mind is at war
 Don't hug me, don't flatter me, don't turn on the charm
 I'll take a sword and hack off your arm
 ♪
 Black rider, black rider, hold it right there
 The size of your cock will get you nowhere
 I'll suffer in silence, I'll not make a sound
 Maybe I'll take the high moral ground
 Some enchanted evening I'll sing you a song
 Black rider, black rider, you've been on the job too long
