[Verse 1]
             
In my eyes, in

   
disposed
             
In disguises n

        
o one knows
             
Hides the face

            
, lies the sna

ke
            
The sun in my 

    
disgrace
             
Boiling heat, 

       
summer stench
             
'Neath the bla

Call my name t

am
             
And I'll hear 

            
you scream aga

[Chorus]
             
Black hole sun

             
, won't you co

And wash away

Black hole sun

me?
             
Won't you come

[Verse 2]
             
Stuttering, co

       
ld and damp
             
Steal the warm

riend
             
Times are gone

             
 for honest me

n
              
And sometimes 

            
far too long f

     
or snakes
             
In my shoes, a

         
 walking sleep
             
And my youth I

          
 pray to keep
             
Heaven send He

No one sings l
