Stephen Malkmus - Black Book lyrics

rate me

Offer your trust to a friend

Who is not what he says

And you know when you're dry, what you're thinkin

Trout in the brook, you're about to get hooked

To a greedy false un-Catholic knave

The Black Book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified

Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why (2x)

I took the locomotive to Kreutzberg

Passed through the scenery

And passengers got on that train too

And they really surprised me when they said:

" The Black Book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified

Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why" (2x)

I've got some friends

But I got some enemies too

And yes I got some people in between

People just like you

The Black Book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified

Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why

The Black Book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified (2x)
