Black out the whites of all your eyes Give me the wide spaces that I need inside I've been a rake recollection and then frame it with loss Happy alone again with all my photographs The masking tape that holds our life together For six months of the year The masking tape transparent forever Forever, most of the year For all the months of the year Happy black days, now here's the summer Deadly time left alone with no other Shivering and hunched, that's me in the corner Someone calls my name but I don't bother The masking tape that holds our life together For six months of the year The masking tape transparent forever Forever, most of the year For all the months of the year Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer] Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer] Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer] Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer] Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer] Happy black days, here's the summer [here's the summer] The masking tape that holds our life together For six months of the year The masking tape transparent forever Forever, most of the year For all the months of the year
