Burning black sheep boy, dark denim phantom
face full of flames, ears full of cheers that have fanned them.
I'd slice off the horns that sprung right from those temples.
I was chased from that bedroom, I was chased from my candles
 by fear of the numbers, paired off like lovers,
collided together so I can't remember
my face or my station. Pacing black sheep boy, 


>the floor just won't support you, you hover through the room.
>Get in your battered mustang and the backseat will be your tomb

And I rode into Baltimore and I found a hotelroom,
where I tried to escape you but the phone line wouldn't go through.
And inside the mirror I saw you, stamping staring out.
I don't recognize your eyes, your mouth or any of those lines
that come flying out. Nothing I've heard from you sounds sane or safe: 
words falling down from the ceiling, where the mirror is stealing 
the light to reveal us both tonight, and we're both kneeling in the

>black pool of your shadow. You've cracked out of my head.
>Go back beyond the pasture, or I'll smash your mirror till you're dead.
