Holding on to black metal

It's a darkness you can't deny

But it don't belong in a grown up mind

Suppose you'll find this place in a youngster's eyes

Coming into life you needn't cry

But as a boy you gotta let it go

Or 

You'll find out something is good

Oh black metal you're so misunderstood

Holdin' on to black metal

Black metal you've been holding on too long

Oh black metal, so misunderstood

Don't turn yourself into Lucifer's fool

Black metal feeds those young, enough is enough

Wants refills out of Lucifer's cup

Black metal lead to and your teenage pop

Look at you starchild you're all grown up

Still holdin' on to black metal

Black metal you've been holding on too long

Catch your waves on Lucifer's beach

Taking shade and underneath Lucifer's trees

Getting sustenance from Lucifer's peach

Oh black metal it's a fact in all your speech 

Holdin' on to black metal

Black metal you've been holding on too long

Oh bring them to me

Oh making me think.

My Morning Jacket

Circuilar

 

Spinning out, gracefully
Going nowhere, quickly
I am older, day to day
Still going back to my childhood way

Circuital
Round and round patiently
Getting lost by the guide
And I'm all worked up over nothing

Circuits
All in and out
Connect my body
Deep into the ground

Circuits
Connect the Earth to the Moon
And link our heavenly bodies
Not a moment too soon

Well you can fling open the windows
Or you can board 'em up
Saints to a crown
Or Christ’s humble cup

You think you'll find yourself out there
Out in the lion’s den
In somebody's battle
Over belief systems

Or disappear into the vacuum
Total neutrality
Well you can't lose nothing
But nothing can be gained

Well anyway you cut it
We're just spinning around
Out on the circuits
Over the hollow grounds

Out on the circuits
Over the hollow grounds
Heading right back in the same place
That we started out
Right back in the same place
Right back in the same place
That we starting out

My Morning Jacket

Downtown

If there was a place downtown

That they talked about every day

Then I'd wanna move uptown

Tell the microphone he can't play

Tell the acid man we don't want to

Tell the microphone he can't play

Tell the acid man we don't want to

There's not a lot that you can say

To make the microphone man go away

There's not a lot you can say

To make the microphone man go away

My Morning Jacket

The day is coming

You need it, that's for sure

You receive, but always want more

Take it for granted, this lifetime and what's up ahead

But the day is coming

The day is near

You know what I mean

The day is coming

The way is clear

The day has come

Bang bang, on the door

You opened, not knowing what for

Cause the day is coming

The day is near

You know what I mean

The day is coming

The way is clear

The day has come
