Blackie’s Dead Lyrics by Pete Yorn, Scarlett Johansson

Break Up

0

[Verse 1: Yorn]
Darling, you're mistaken; I don't like what's going on
But tell you too much conversation won't get you off
You said, "Blackie's dead…Blackie's dead," and then run the other way

[Verse 2: Johansson]
I don't want to tell you that you're not there on my list
And what's with all that shit you're saying;
No, you're not interested in this

[Chorus: Yorn]
I'm in love with a girl, sees what you are (what you are)
Tell, tell them you know, tell them your great big poem
Yeah, always feel the pressure from home

[Verse 3: Yorn]
Darling, we will visit, you know you don't feel this way
What's with all that information, oh, don't give it away
You said, "Blackie's dead…Blackie's dead," and then run the other way

[Chorus: Yorn]
I'm in love with a girl, sees what you are (what you are)
Tell, tell them you know, tell them you're great big poem
I'm in love with a girl, sees what you are (what you are)

Tell, tell them you know, tell them your great big poem
Yeah, always feel the pressure from home

I'm in love with a girl, sees what you are (what you are)
Tell, tell them you know, tell them your great big poem

I'm in love with a girl, sees what you are (what you are)
Tell…tell them you know, tell them your great big poem
Yeah, always feel the pressure from home

Darling, you're forgiven; I don't like what's going on
