And though you want to check me out
It's just too black for me

I'm going through a black, hey, Capricorn day
Hey hey
Though it doesn't seem so
Hey hey
I'm not the man to play
It's gonna take sometime just to let them see
Let the rain come down on me
No way you can play with me today
Hey hey
Like any other drifter with a soul to sell
Well I don't know what they want from me
I've got to get this way
I've got to get this way
Hey hey
Black, hey, Capricorn day
I'm not the man to, not the man to play no, no, no
You know how this scream reminds me of when I was so young

It's just too black for me
Hey hey
Hey hey
(Play, play, play, play)
My heart is a pure sun and the sky is black
And though it doesn't seem so
Hey hey
And I'm so rarely understood
It's just too black for me
I'm going through a black, hey, Capricorn day
I'm going through a black, hey, Capricorn day
It's just too black for me
And their faces tell a story that life is so sweet
I've got to get this way, got to get this way
I've got to get this way
Don't you see I'm not the man to play
Though you want to check me out
I'm not the man to, play, play, play, play
And though it doesn't seem so
I'm not the man to play, play, play, play
Hey hey
And though it doesn't seem so
I never had any of those black, hey, Capricorn days
And though you want to check me out
It's just too black for me
And I can feel cold steel when I turn my back
You know I'm dealing with the devil in everyone I meet
I'm stuck on the highway leading straight to hell
...
And though you want to check me out, you want to check me out
And I'm going through a black, hey, Capricorn day
Just let me sing it to my Capricorn day
I see people and they're craving blood
It's just too black for me
And I'm going through a black, hey, Capricorn day
Black, hey, Capricorn day
It stings like needles with a jagged tongue
