Black Like Me Lyrics by Spoon

Black Like Me

I believed that someone'd
take care of me tonight

As I walk into Dorian's
can you see it in my eyes?

My boots are on the mend
and they ain't walking home

Street tar in summer will do a job on your soul
Street tar in summer will do a job on your soul

Junie's watching cover shy
My head's feeling light
I believed that someone'd
take care of me tonight
anyhow, anyway, so I split
oh just getting out of there,
what's gonna get me out of this?

I spent the night in the map room,
I humanize the vacuum

I believed that someone'd
take care of me tonight
Oh and as I'm lookin out at you
can you see that in, in my eyes
on the mend,
now they could lead me home

Street tar in summer
will play a trick on your soul

Oh Junie's got daylight [yeah]
Aw it made me feel so light [oh yeah]
Just something to take care of the light

Junie's watching day and night [yeah]
All there is to feel a light [oh yeah]
Someone to take care of the light

All the weird kids up front [yeah]
tell me what you know you want [oh yeah]
Someone to take care of tonight
