Black Hole Sun Lyrics by Chris Cornell

Songbook

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come[x2]
[Verse 2]
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore
[Chorus 1][x2]
[Chorus 2]
Black hole sun[x2]
Won't you come
[Bridge]
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear
[Chorus][x2]
[Chorus 2][x3]
[Outro]
Black hole sun[x4]
