Black Gold - Houndmouth

Oliver Isley Lane

He’s a quarter the way insane

But he ain’t to blame

Cuz with a trust fund like that

I’d be the same

His father was the engine

And his mother was the line

She had a pension

And valued money over time

I used to see his sister

Her name was Jenny Gasoline

I used to see her picture

On the cover of a dirty magazine

But she looked best when she was mine

Sugar, don’t you worry

Don’t you shed a tear

They’ve got enough black gold

For another year

We’ll just have to wait and see

If they’ve got enough

For you and me

There’s been an accident

On 23rd and preston

Someone got arrested

And all them broker

They be brokin' in the park

And all that liquid that they’re

Chokin' on it’s dark

Darker than a Georgia night

With a heavy heart

Sugar, don’t you worry

Don’t you shed a tear

They’ve got enough black gold

For another year

We’ll just have to wait and see

If they’ve got enough

For you and

Just bought some octane

Cut my dollar in half

You should try it out sometime, monkey

Nothin' like going way to fast

Way too fast

Sugar, don’t you worry

Don’t you shed a tear

They’ve got enough black gold

For another year

We’ll just have to wait and see

If they’ve got enough

For you and me
