Black Star lyrics
by Gillian Welch
[Verse]
I get home from work
And you're still standing in your dressing gown
Well, what am I to do?
I know all these things around your head
And what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we coming to?
[Chorus]
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the fallin' sky
Blame it on the satellite
That bring me home
[Verse]
Troubled words, a troubled mind
I try to understand what is eating you
And I try to stay awake
But it's fifty-eight hours since I last slept with you
What are we coming to?
I just don't know anymore
[Chorus]
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the fallin' sky
Blame it on the satellite
That beamed me home
[Guitar solo]
[Verse]
I get on the train and I just stand about
Now that I don't think of you
I keep fallin' over, I keep passin' out
When I see a face like you
What am I coming to?
Another meltdown
[Chorus]
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the fallin' sky
Blame it on the satellite
That bring me home
