Lyrics

I got shot down Black smoke in my lungs and in my eyes Black smoke in my feelings Black smoke that I leave behind I got shot down I told myself I was Greedy for it I was greedy for it I went down to the river But the river's drowned I went down to the river But the river's choked in black smoke, black smoke Black smoke, black smoke Black smoke, black smoke Black smoke, black smoke Black smoke, black smoke I was fooling around I got flirting with that jangling Trying it on for size I'm checking out my reflection I got ground down I went through the cogs of a giant mill, I was Greedy for it I was greedy for it I went down to the river But the river's drowned I went down to the river But the river's choked in black smoke, black smoke Hey, on the baker's hands Black smoke, black smoke On the aprons of midwives Black smoke, black smoke In the streets and the chambers of where we Black smoke, black smoke Where we eke out our lives Black smoke, black smoke I got ground down I told myself I was Greedy for it I was greedy for it Hey, I know I can see my feelings now I can see the outline of my feelings now Hey, on the baker's hands Black smoke, black smoke On the aprons of midwives Black smoke, black smoke In the streets and the chambers of where we Black smoke, black smoke Where we eke out our lives Black smoke, black smoke I got shot down It was in the midnight hour, it was Like that soul song, soul song It was so easy to dance to Hey, and we bathed our dogs And we'd make love in the afternoon As though nothing was wrong As though nothing was one-two-three
