Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey
Ah, ah, yeah
Hey, hey
Let the rain come down on me
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
I see people in the crimson blood
And I'm so rarely understood
Well, I don't know what
They want from me
It's gonna take some time
Just to let them see
[Verse 3]
I'm goin' through a black, hey, Capricorn day
And though it doesn't seem so I've got to get this way
I'm goin' through a black, hey, Capricorn day
Although you want to take me out
I'm not the man to play, play, play, play
[Verse 4]
Hey, hey, don't you see I'm not the man to play
Hey, hey, no way you can play with me today
Hey, hey, just let me sing it to my Capricorn day
Hey, hey
[Verse 5]
My heart is a pure sun
And the sky is black
And I can feel cold steel
When I turn my back
It stings like needles
With a jagged tongue
You know this really reminds me
Of when I was so young
I never had any of those
[Verse 6]
Black, hey, Capricorn days
Though it doesn't seem so, I got to get this way
I'm goin' through a black, hey, Capricorn day
And though you want to check me out
I'm not the man to play, play, play, play
[Verse 7]
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
[Verse 8]
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black
[Verse 9]
I'm stuck on a highway
Leadin' straight to Hell
Like any other drifter
With a soul to sell
You know I'm dealin' with the Devil
In everyone I meet
And their faces tell a story
That life is so sweet
[Verse 10]
I'm goin' through a black, hey, Capricorn day
And though it doesn't seem so I've got to get this way
I'm goin' through a black, hey, Capricorn day
And though you want to check me out
I'm not the man to, not the man play, no, no, no
Black, hey, Capricorn day
Although it doesn't seem so
I've got to get this way
Got to get this way yeah
Black, hey, Capricorn
And though you wanna check me out, you wanna check me out
I'm not the man to play
[Verse 11]
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me
It's just too black for me...
