I met her accidentally
It was at the Cambridge Science Fair
And she was so impressed I could make so many things catch on fire
But I was just covered in bubbles of methane gas

And you ended up burning
I´m sorry
I have always been a liar
Just to think I could´ve left the fair with my dignity intact
And fled from the stage with the world´s second-best Slint tribute act
Okay, today, I hide away
But tomorrow, I take the reins
Still living with my mother
As I move from one micro-influencer to another
References, references, references
What are you on tonight?
I love this city, despite the burden of preferences
What a time to be alive
I know where I´m going, it´s black country out there

I saw you unravel
It was at the Cirque du Soleil
At an intimate performance
I swear to God you looked right at me
And let a silk red ribbon fall between your hands
But as I slowly sobered
I felt the rubbing of shoulders
And the sweat and the children crying
I was just one among crowded stands
And still with sticky hands
I bolted through the gallery
With cola stains on my best white shirt
Nothing to lose
Born to run
Black country out there
Black country out there
It´s black country out there
