Black Gold

You were born outside

In the natural present

You find artificial light

Very unpleasant

With a mind so big

So many unknowns

Don’t pledge your allegiance

To dinosaur bones

[Chorus]

And on the back of this map

There’s a bigger X to dig

For black gold

In a purblind life

Lost and afraid

The sun will reveal

What the darkness betrayed

With a heart so small

Alone in the deep

Whatever you find

Is a treasure to keep

[Chorus]

And on the back of this map

There’s a bigger X to dig

For black gold
