C                                       Am
Bleeding black sheep boy, mirror in pieces.
Em                         G
Turn the receiver, trace the police station.
C                                    Am
Line to my number, and number my reasons
      Em                       G
for this paranoia, for these accusations.
        Dm                        C
Each night the numbers paired off like lovers,
C                          Am
collided together so I can remember
      Em                           G
my name or my nation.  Bay black sheep boy.
Em                               Am
Go back beyond the pasture,
Em                               G
you cracked out of my head.
Em                             Am
Get in your battered Mustang
                     C                       Em    G
and the back seat will be your bed.
