Black heart sun rides the sky
now your eyes are running dry
oh, like the space around me
i take my spot in time

who knows who is both your best friend and brother
when everyone's deserted you
who'd shoot first and ask questions later
if anybody's messed with you
pretty soon we'll all be tumblin' like a barrel
thrown from the top of the waterfall, well
i'm drowning in piranhas in the river
man, what a drag, man

black heart sun rides the sky
now your wells are runnin' dry
like the space around me
i take my spot in time

who knows who is both your best friend and brother
when everyone's deserted you
who'd shoot first and ask questions later
if anybody's messed with you
pretty soon we'll all be tumblin' like a barrel
thrown from the top of the waterfall, well
i'm drowning in piranhas in the river
man, what a drag!
man, what a drag!
man, what a drag!

i was talkin' to my teacher
said i didn't have a clue
i think my principles are reachin'
an all time low
i saw my lady in the streetlight
she was walkin' with her man
they were headed for the fire
that was burnin' in the sand
i think my principles are reachin'
an all time low
i think my principles are reachin'
an all time, all time low
all time low
all time low
all time low
all time low
