Your eyes are the ocean switching colors Trapped inside this lazy eyed summer Driving through the streets of small town rumors And they had the nerve to call us the late bloomers So we may have fell behind But we never were lost we just like taking our time But drinking doesn't do enough to unwind Screaming vengeance in the burbs of a broken mind So when you're sick of the city and the neon seems too bright We'll head down to the country run away into the night But I always thought that stars looked more like Cigarette burns on the skin of the sky Than sleeping satellites They say you're the kind of girl to treat like an exit wound ******* all the sugar off your silver spoon Let me show you I'm a black sheep, let me show you to my room So when you're sick of the city and the neon seems too bright We'll head down to the country run away into the night But I always thought that stars looked more like Cigarette burns on the skin of the sky Than guiding fatalistic lights

Black Sheep
Your eyes are the ocean switching colors Trapped inside this lazy eyed summer Driving through the streets of small town rumors And they had the nerve to call us the late bloomers So we may have fell behind But we never were lost we just like taking our time But drinking doesn't do enough to unwind Screaming vengeance in the burbs of a broken mind So when you're sick of the city and the neon seems too bright We'll head down to the country run away into the night But I always thought that stars looked more like Cigarette burns on the skin of the sky Than sleeping satellites They say you're the kind of girl to treat like an exit wound ******* all the sugar off your silver spoon Let me show you I'm a black sheep, let me show you to my room So when you're sick of the city and the neon seems too bright We'll head down to the country run away into the night But I always thought that stars looked more like Cigarette burns on the skin of the sky Than guiding fatalistic lights
