"Black Hole Sun"

Lyrics & Music by Chris Cornell

From the SOUNDGARDEN album _SUPERUNKNOWN_ on A&M Records

©1994 you make me sick i make music (ASCAP)



in my eyes
indisposed
in disguise
as no one knows
hides the face
lies the snake
the sun
in my disgrace
boiling heat
summer stench
beneath the black
the sky looks dead
call my name
through the cream
and i'll hear you scream again

black hole sun
won't you come
and wash away the rain black hole sun
won't you come
won't you come

stuttering
cold and damp
steal the warm wind
tired friend
times are gone
for honest men
and sometimes
for too long
for snakes
in my shoes
a walking sleep
in my youth
i pray to keep
heaven send
hell away
no one sings like you anymore

hang my head
drown my fear
till you all just
