The Curse of the Blackened Eye

I've been hiding out, running from the curse of the blackened eye
Uh-uh
Darling, I can feel it coming every time
I sat around last year
Wishing so many times that I would die
Uh-uh
Left it all and now I can see the night

It's true
True it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Wouldn't miss it anyhow

It ain't the letting go, it's more about the things that you take with
Uh-uh
And I can feel it getting closer with every kiss
You gotta beat or join them
Try to act surprised
Just flip a coin 'cause I'm too bored to lie

It's true
True it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Wouldn't miss it anyhow

Always said, "I should work on my escape"
Have a heart too long, it's bound to break
Acting out the opus of your last eternal ache
Boy, just sing the song for heaven's sake

It's true
True it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Wouldn't miss it anyhow
It's true
True it follows me around
Nothing to lose
Lost it all anyhow

Northeast sun
Northeast sun
Northeast sun
Yeah, northeast sun
