"Black Ice" lyrics
"Black Ice"
Freezing rain, falling light
Asphalt gleams like glass tonight
Two-lane road, headlights shake
Tires go loose, tap the brake
Spinning out, 'round and 'round
Hard to tell up from down
No warning sign, no flashing light
Black ice, black ice
Lonesome field
Night moves close
World goes still,
Angels and ghosts
Corn stands high
Moon hangs low
Live or die as the
Cold winds blow
No hand to hold
No saving grace
Endless sky
And empty space
No map, no chart
No stars to guide
Black ice, black ice
There is a switch
With no controls
Behind the seam
Beneath my soul
My eyes go dark
The air goes thin
Something cold
Comes rushing in
It bides its time like a loaded gun
And just like that, damage gets done
Fear don't ask, it just decides
Black ice, black ice

Half of the cotton, third of the corn
Get a handful of dust
We cannot have all things to please us
No matter how we try

And that's nothin' ever stays the same
Some day my life will be over
And no one will remember my name
That's all right, cause what's in a name?
And who...
