Black Coffee Lyrics by Rival Sons

Hollow Bones

2016

[Verse 1]
Black coffee (ooh) is my name
Black coffee (black coffee) ooh, is my thing
Black coffee (ooh) freshly ground and fully prepared
Black coffee, mmm that's where it's at
Way back you all know since I don't know when
See I got hungover before I was 10
You see my skin is white but my soul is black
And my hot black coffee, that's where it's at

[Chorus]
(Black coffee) Oh, that's what I'm telling you now
(Black coffee) That's what I want, that's what I need
(Black coffee) Waow, yeah
(Black coffee) That's where it's at
(Black coffee)

[Verse 2]
Let's go to the other side of the pond
Black tea, it's as black as it can be
Black tea (can't compare with me) that's right
Black tea (ooh) it's as good as, good as it can possibly be
But it's a cup of black coffee that a working man needs and I wanna tell ya
Back in America, well it's the land of the free
You can get anything you want as long as you've got that do re mi
Well I've travelled far and I work like a slave
Now I'm independent, and you know I get laid
I got me a job and I built me a place
I get that little black coffee, oh how good it tastes
A silver dime is all it costs back in the States
For a cup of black coffee oh how good it tastes

[Chorus]
(Black coffee) Alright
(Black coffee) Ah yeah
(Black coffee) That's what I want, don't you hear me
(Black coffee) To soothe my soul, got to soothe my soul
(Black coffee) (that's what I want, it's what I need)
(Black coffee) (It's where it's at, it's where it's at)
(Black coffee) Yeah
(Black coffee) (It's what I want, it's what I need)
(Black coffee) (It's where it's at, it's where it's at)
Yeah give it to me

(Black coffee)

Ooh ooh ohh
Well I got something to tell you now
Like I need you to sit down and stop talking
Listen to me, listen
Don't it make you feel good
Gonna make you feel good
Gonna make you feel good

Oh I wanna hear it from you right now
Don't it make you feel good
