In my eyes indisposed
in disguise as no one knows
hides the face lies the snake
in the sun in my disgrace
boiling heat summer stanch
'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 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 walking sleep
and my youth I pray to keep
heaven send hell away
no one 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
