Lyrics

Black Tuesday

When you wish you could find that

Other Alex

The one who did this to you

Would you

Put your left around that throat

And strike

The beat of the black ink throb

With your right

Against that stupid gurning puss

Ah, put the beat on the face and say

I'm not going to take

Another Black Tuesday

No, it's not why

It's why not

I look down from horse's tails

And vapour trails

Maybe see him

But who looks down here and says

I'm not going to take

Another Black Tuesday
