The Ballad of Black Phillip Songtext
I couldn′t help myself when you were around
All I wanted was to set it all down
I could've loved you but I couldn′t falsify
Everyone that saw me coming
Solid, or otherwise
You could've told me that you'd wake to the sound
Of the sinner, incandescent, and loud
I would′ve told you but I couldn′t see your eyes
You're the one that saw me coming
Liquid, or otherwise
Leave it up to the full
Or the halves
To the shade
If we brave the darkness at midnight
To the heat that calls our names
And take our place in the moonlight
Black Phillip knows your birthday
Hold, hold up your hands to the sky
Ask God for the unknowable Why
That said, I couldn′t trust the answers anyway
Phillip is the second coming
I'll just ask Him instead
Going once, it′s our DNA
Going twice, a multiple of the strain
Third time, we couldn't see it′s eyes
Phil's the one that saw me coming
Something, or otherwise
We're all dyed in the wool
And our filth
Will remain
If we brave the darkness at midnight
To the heat that calls our names
And take our place in the moonlight
Black Phillip knows your birthday
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Every little Mary Lee
Will get a bright idea, don′t let her see
Keep her with a lock and key
What she doesn′t know can't set her free
The apple of her eye may turn
Like a sinful world; we′d rather it burn
Than leave her with a will to learn
The last to act may be the first to find the urn
Righteous men beware
Shield your eyes from her golden hair
Or wake up in the devil's snare
It′s peak season, the perfume's in the air
But will you regret
living a lie? To be the fool and mystified
Come to the wood and join the ride
Remove the binds that tie you to the pride
Goats, or lambs, your guess as good as mine
The night′s so young let knowledge be your bride
Black Phillip wants to blow your candles out
Let him!
Dawn again broken
The fauna and flora sing
Be, rather than seem
All I wanted was to set it all down
I could've loved you but I couldn′t falsify
Everyone that saw me coming
Solid, or otherwise
You could've told me that you'd wake to the sound
Of the sinner, incandescent, and loud
I would′ve told you but I couldn′t see your eyes
You're the one that saw me coming
Liquid, or otherwise
Leave it up to the full
Or the halves
To the shade
If we brave the darkness at midnight
To the heat that calls our names
And take our place in the moonlight
Black Phillip knows your birthday
Hold, hold up your hands to the sky
Ask God for the unknowable Why
That said, I couldn′t trust the answers anyway
Phillip is the second coming
I'll just ask Him instead
Going once, it′s our DNA
Going twice, a multiple of the strain
Third time, we couldn't see it′s eyes
Phil's the one that saw me coming
Something, or otherwise
We're all dyed in the wool
And our filth
Will remain
If we brave the darkness at midnight
To the heat that calls our names
And take our place in the moonlight
Black Phillip knows your birthday
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Lead or follow the same
The gallows call my name
Every little Mary Lee
Will get a bright idea, don′t let her see
Keep her with a lock and key
What she doesn′t know can't set her free
