Black Book - Stephen Malkmus

Offer your trust to a friend

Who is not what he says

And you know when youre dry, what youre thinkin

Trout in the brook, youre about to get hooked

To a greedy false un-catholic knave

The black book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified

Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why (2x)

I took the locomotive to kreutzberg

Passed through the scenery

And passengers got on that train too

And they really surprised me when they said:

«the black book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified

Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why"(2x)

Ive got some friends

But I got some enemies too

And yes I got some people in between

People just like you

The black book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified

Cousin why, cousin why, cousin why

The black book you took

Was permanent-ally diversified (2x)
