Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy # 4 Lyrics

Bleeding black sheep boy

Mirror in pieces.

Turn the receiver

Trace the police station

Line to my number

And number my reasons

For this paranoia

For these accusations.

Each night the numbers

Paired off like lovers

Collided together

So I can't remember

My name or my nation.

Baying black sheep boy.

Go back beyond the pasture

You cracked out of my head.

Get in your battered Mustang

And the back seat will be your bed.

Burning black sheep boy

Dark denim phantom.

Face full of flames

The ears full of cheers that have fanned them.

I'd slice off the horns that sprung right from those temples

I was chased from my bedroom

I was chased from my candles.

By fear of the numbers

Paired off like lovers

Collided together

So I can't remember

My face or my station.

Pacing black sheep boy.

The floor just won't support you

You hovered through the room.

Get in your battered Mustang

And the backseat will be your tomb.

And I rode into Baltimore

And I found a hotel room

Where I tried to escape you

But the phone line wouldn't go through.

And inside the mirror

Well I saw you stamping

Staring out

I'd recognize your eyes

You fell for any of the lines that come flying out.

Nothing I've heard from you sounds sane or safe.

Words falling down from the ceiling

Where the mirror is stealing

The light to reveal us both tonight

And we're both kneeling in the

Black pool of your shadow.

You've cracked out of my head.

Go back beyond the pasture

Where I'll smash your mirror

Till you're dead.
