Black Sheep

As a wonderful day begins, the night settles in
Every passing day, I’ve even forgotten how to wave goodbye
The water I once poured has gone stale
This is a murky cage, yeah, there’s nothing here at all

Beyond the trees, a hazy voice keeps calling
I couldn’t quite catch what they were saying
Before I knew it, a lot of time had passed
In the mirror, you’re reflected, come on, let’s play

Fun things are waiting, sha-la-la-la
One black sheep, two black sheep, three black sheep, four
Five black sheep, six black sheep, seven black sheep, eight

At night, when I close my eyes, my body sinks into the pillow
Eventually, the room starts spinning, the bed wanders around
The water I once poured has gone stale
This is a murky cage, yeah, there’s nothing here at all

Feeling a bit anxious, I leave each day behind
This noisy little world, it’s someone’s diorama
I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to know
Tomorrow, I’ll feel like I understand everything again

Fun things are waiting, sha-la-la-la
Nine black sheep, ten black sheep, eleven black sheep, twelve
Thirteen black sheep, fourteen black sheep, fifteen black sheep, sixteen

Fun things are waiting, sha-la-la-la
Seventeen black sheep, eighteen black sheep, nineteen black sheep, twenty
Twenty-one black sheep, twenty-two black sheep, twenty-three black sheep, twenty-four

Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight
Twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two
Thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six
Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty
Forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four
Forty-five black sheep.
