Black Jack

Black-eyed girl fell out of her pace
Black-eyed girl fell out of her pace
Back-street jaws grinding down the scraps she tried to save
Ah!

Voices snap, “How’d you sink so deep?”
Voices snap, “How’d you sink so deep?”
Get up, you’re choking under every weight you drag

Black-eyed girl sifts through what she wrecked
Black-eyed girl sifts through what she wrecked
All her cracked-up promises spilling down the dirty floor
Ah!

“I think this is it?
…no?
You sure?
Alright, bud…
Then let’s move.”

Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah!

Street noise says it can’t pull her back now
Street noise says it can’t pull her back now
It mutters, “Nothing holds together when the world wants you split”
