This Man and the Dream Surfers - Black Sheep

Dirty clothes and papers piled ankle-deep
All the clear spots have spread far enough for us to make believe
Cups and cans litter the ground everywhere
Parents and roommates all tear out their hair
Bass lines the size of houses floating out
Music played so loud everybody has to shout
Reek of smoke in murky array
Oh such variety
Combatting vows dissolving piety

Black sheep
Cloaked round a wolf's hide
Black sheep sneaking up where the herd lies
Black sheep
Cloaked in the wolf's hide
Black sheep sneaking up where the herd lies

There's lighters all over the place, different hands
Always wary of what's going on behind
Little statues, stolen goods, bought contraband
Throw it away and just hold on my hand
Addictive personality with all the wrong ways
Sometimes we sleep for hours and hours
And sometimes we sleep for days
Notebooks stationed in the temple as confessionals
We travel light with nothing but essentials

Black sheep
Draped on the wolf's skin
Black sheep
Such a goldmine of sin
Black sheep
Judas, kind of the low
Black sheep
My true colors will never show
Black sheep
Cloaked in the wolf's hide
Black sheep
Sneaking up where the herd lies
Black sheep
Cloaked in the wolf's hide
Black sheep
Sneaking up where the herd lies
