Black Hole Sun
Stella Starlight Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my eyes,
Indisposed,
In disguise
As no one knows.
Hides the face,
Lies the snake,
And the sun
In my disgrace.
Boiling heat,
Summer stench.
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead.
Call my name
Through the cream,
And I'll hear you
Scream again.
Black hole sun,
Won't you come

And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun,
Won't you come?
Won't you come?
Won't you come?
Stuttering,
Cold and damp,
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend.
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes,
Far too long
For snakes.

In my shoes,
A walking sleep,
And my youth
I pray to keep.
Heaven send Hell away,
No one
Sings like you anymore.
Black hole sun,
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun,
Won't you come?
Won't you come?

Hang my head,
Drown my fear,
Till you all just
Disappear...
Black hole sun,
Won't you come
And wash away the rain?

Black hole sun,




Won't you come?
Won't you come?
