Black Heart Inertia

Walking alone tonight

'Cause I've only got room for two.

Me and my burdened black heart,

It's all we know how to do.



Yet I look for a bigger bang

Than the kind I continually see.

Sick of all this inertia,

I want a human being!



Lover, can you help me?

I'm a child lost in the woods.

A black heart pollutes me

And I think,



You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,

Not to conquer, but to share in the view.



Pulled by a false inertia,

Pushed out by circumstance.

Pistol firing at my feet

That's coercing me to dance.



Yet I look for a bigger bang

Than the kind I'm sorry to know.

Here I am, first foot of the climb.

Watch me go.



Lover, can you help me?

I'm a child lost in the woods.

A lit path eludes me

And I think,



You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,

Not to conquer, but to share in the view.

You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you.

Set this old black heart inertia aflame.

Send it away, (8X)

Set it aflame, send it away, (6X)
