Black Grass Songtext
von Gary Louris

Upon the grey cement
I extinguish one more cigarette
Then another appears
To my awaiting lips it nears

The road is never paved in gold
How were we supposed to know?

Through the thunderous applause
Words for years police for all pause
March to the beat of the drum
Watch the blind defend the dumb
But I never lose control
How were we supposed to know?
How were we supposed to know?
How were we supposed to know?


As if I were in your dream
What was that supposed to mean?
As if I were in your dream
What exactly does that mean?

When grass grows under my head
Burned by the fire that I′ve fed
There's a fly on the wall
And he′s starting to crawl
To the window that's near
Though I watch him disappear

As if I were in his dream
As if I were in his dream
What exactly does that mean?
What exactly does that mean?
As if I were in his dream
