Lyrics

Black Peter

[Verse]

All of my friends come to see me last night

I was laying in my bed, crying

She said, "The tragedy of your life

Is that you don't enjoy living"

Just then the wind

Came calling at my door

I was swept into shadow

Don't know how to extricate me

From the only world that I know

Fever rolls up to one hundred and five

Rolls on up then roll back down again

One more day

I might find myself

Grateful to be alive

See here how everything

Leads up to this day

It's just like any other day that's ever been

Sun coming up and then

Sun's going down

Shine through my window

And my friends, they come around

[Bridge]

Come around

Come around

[Outro]

People, they know but

And people, they care

I don't know how to live

Take a look at poor Peter

He's lying in pain

Let's try to set her free

Her free, her free
