The Obvious Thing

lyrics

My girl is so pretty we get nothing done
I called in sick today
We only eat and sleep, work, or earn money at all
To spend the rest of our time this way

Her lips are dry from catching her breath
And what the neighbours think - God only knows
It’s 3 O’clock in the afternoon
and I still haven’t found my clothes

Cold fire burning up my spine
Our bodies melt in the heat
We could be wasting all of our lives
It sure doesn’t feel that way to me

I looked at the clock – 3 hours had gone by
Day blurs into night so easily
Though my body feels I’ve run for a thousand miles
I can’t help but find the energy

Cold fever burning up my spine
Our bodies fuse in the heat
This could lead no where but down
But I don’t know
If we did this til our lives were over
It wouldn’t seem like such a bad way to go


She lays her hand on my chest
Lays her head to my heart
To see if there’s anything rattling in there
As the sky outside grows dark

We keep staying in all of the time
Destroying the sheets

The world could burn down around us
We probably wouldn’t see
If we did this til our lives were over
It wouldn’t seem like that was such a bad thing to me

Cold fever burning up my spine
Our bodies fuse in the heat
They’d say we’re wasting all of our lives
But they just don’t see
If there is a better way to spend it at all
No one has ever said a word about it to me

about

Black Hay London, UK

Black Hay is the project of London-born Gideon K and a motley crew of collaborators.

Previously described as "Worse than Leonard Cohen", Black Hay's music has gone from noirish garage rock, to grungey alt-country low-rock, via DIY house-bound balladry, to a current incarnation of cold-hearted post-punk indie synth-tronica.

The new single 'Always Be Mine' is out now.
