Old Black Dawning — Frank Black

I hung around

On the planet mabel

She tried to stand

But she was not able

She tried to find the truth

She tried to colonize space

She only had a few

But it was a good race

Old black dawning is coming on

Old black dawning is coming on

Old black dawning

Old black dawning

Im always happy to

Go down to old tucson

After you had your fun

Its time to move on

Ive got a favorite story

About the tower of babel

Some say its true

And some say its a fable

Old black dawning is coming on

Old black dawning is coming on

Old black dawning

Old black dawning
