What They Think
from A Ghost That Follows Me by Blacks&
lyrics
Can you make it a-ok
Can you take it, take it away
Rubbing my face and wiping my eyes
is the closest I get to looking back
I could love you
I could love with everything I have
Never look away from your perfect diamond eyes
Never a wish to colonise
Or convert your people
Just drink wine with me
And stare up at the moon
Until we are blind and dull and dumb
My temple touches your cheek
Begging you to understand
What I've been through
So I don't have to tell you
And we can just continue
Makes me wanna burn every book I've ever read
Makes me wanna seal my ears and never hear those song again
The songs that keep me awake
With my eyes closed
I can still see you walking in and out my life, my lives
I know what they all think and I don't care
Can you take it, take it away
Rubbing my face and wiping my eyes
is the closest I get to looking back
I could love you
I could love with everything I have
Never look away from your perfect diamond eyes
Never a wish to colonise
Or convert your people
Just drink wine with me
And stare up at the moon
Until we are blind and dull and dumb
My temple touches your cheek
Begging you to understand
What I've been through
So I don't have to tell you
And we can just continue
Makes me wanna burn every book I've ever read
Makes me wanna seal my ears and never hear those song again
The songs that keep me awake
With my eyes closed
I can still see you walking in and out my life, my lives
I know what they all think and I don't care

about
Blacks& Los Angeles, California
Blacks& started as a late night living room recording project, fueled by whiskey and head-nods in the summer of 2011. While Donald Eley and Tiger passed instruments back and forth, vagabond (and spiritual guide) Jutty Shark gave the tracks a Midas sheen. The group has rounded out its rhythm section by bringing on Jutty's childhood friend Jules Bellin. ... more
