Testo In The Black The Unseen Guest
Iâve been washing myself down in your backwaters
Iâve been filling up my lungs in your city streets
Iâve seen the up-side and the down of your servantâs quarters
Iâve been grinding down my hands in your empty fields
So spare me some extra before you go
Thereâs a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store
Chorus:
Iâm not asking for charity
Just help me till the next time I get paid
I donât care if you need me
Just keep meâ¦. In the black for another day
Iâve sent a letter of application a 1000 times
Iâve been trying to climb the ladder in a borrowed tie
But you never give me a call back when you say
And you put me on the long figure for another day
So spare me some extra before you go
Thereâs a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store
Chorus
In the black
