Black Hole Sun

Black Hole Sun, tratto dall'album Superunknow (Soundgarden, 1994).
Si tratta forse del testo più criptico che abbia mai visto.

In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as noone knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come

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
Noone sings like you anymore

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come


Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
...

Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappear

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come


Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
...
