Superior Love (Blackbox Demo)

Mad Max was standing on the corner
As he bends down to tie his shoes
Up from behind comes his 42nd wife
And she's givin' him a version of the blues

42 seemed to be the magic number, I had to get to it somehow
She bends down to pick up a stone, she says
"What do you think of me now?"
What do you think of me now?

They held her up against the gates of the storm
She prayed to the Lord above
Wishin' she'd never been born
Yes, she wishes she'd never been born

She bends down off in the distance, she noticed the dogs at war
She looks me in the eye and she starts to cry, says
"What the hell are they barkin' at me for?"
What the hell are they barkin' at me for?

Well, you wished me well from your wishing well
You were bouncing around, baby, like a carousel
You tossed me a penny, said, "Skip it like a stone
If you can't do it right, I got plenty"

We both stood still in the autumn of the night
We were feelin' half dead by the things we'd recite
You looked at me, said, "Do you love me tonight?"
And I guess the rest is history, yeah, I guess the rest is history

They held you up against the gates of the storm
You prayed to the Lord above
Wishin' you'd never been born
Yeah, you wished you'd never been born

As you bent down off in the distance
You noticed the dogs at war
And you looked me in the eye and you started to cry, said
"What the hell are they barkin' at me for?"
What the hell are they barkin' at me for?

Well, it's cold outside and, baby, I don't lie
I wish it was all my fault
But you know it's the world out there that gets me scared
That there's somethin' out there that I want

So follow the leaves and the colorless trees
Van Morrison played as I began to weep
In a small cafe that was just down the street
But I swear I didn't know I was running
No, I swear I didn't know I was running

They held me up against the gates of the storm
I prayed to the Lord above
Wishin' I'd never been born
Yeah, I wished I'd never been born

As I bent down off in the distance
I noticed the dogs at war
As I looked you in the eye and I started to cry, said
"What the hell are they barkin' at me for?"
What the hell are they barking at me for?

Ah, hangman, hangman, don't cry for me
I've been around for a thousand centuries
And don't you cry as my body sways
All you people just gonna watch and walk away
All you people just gonna walk away

I'm sorry for the things I've said and I've done
For I've sinned enough times to black out the sun
Whoever said the pen was stronger than the sword
Lord, he never had to go out and face one
No, he never had to go out and face one

So follow the leaves and the colorless trees
Down the road less traveled to the fire that breathes
If I'm to be around to see you there
Well, I might give a nod or I might not care

There's somethin' in my northern blood
That keeps me searchin' for superior love
There's something in those northern lights
That keeps my mind from slipping

Yeah, there's something in those northern lights
That keeps my mind from slipping
Well, there's something in those northern lights
That keeps my mind from slipping
Well, there's something in those northern lights
That keeps my mind from slipping
