Black rider, black rider, you've been living too hardBeen up all night, have to stay on your guardThe path that you're walking, too narrow to walkEvery step of the way, another stumbling blockThe road that you're on, same road that you knowJust not the same as it was a minute ago
Black rider, black rider, you've seen it allYou've seen the great world and you've seen the smallYou fell into the fire and you're eating the flameBetter seal up your lips if you wanna stay in the gameBe reasonable, mister, be honest, be fairLet all of your earthly thoughts be a prayer
Black rider, black rider, all dressed in blackI'm walking away, you try to make me look backMy heart is at rest, I'd like to keep it that wayI don't wanna fight, at least not todayGo home to your wife, stop visiting mineOne of these days, I'll forget to be kind
Black rider, black rider, tell me when, tell me howIf there ever was a time, then let it be nowLet me go through, open the doorMy soul is distressed, my mind is at warDon't hug me, don't flatter me, don't turn on the charmI'll take a sword and hack off your arm
Black rider, black rider, hold it right thereThe size of your cock will get you nowhereI'll suffer in silence, I'll not make a soundMaybe I'll take the high moral groundSome enchanted evening, I'll sing you a songBlack rider, black rider, you've been on the job too long
