Now that I have the bass part down and the song is falling into place, here are the lyrics to Black Swan. This song is almost of a type for me, with a sort or Steely-ELP groove and pre-postapocalyptic sentiment. But with that territory there\u2019s a lot of room for interesting and create stuff. This one has been in the works for a long while and is shaping up to be one of my favorites. In any event, every album should have one or two big, heavy numbers, so this is one.<\/p>\n
I was working on it on the piano today, and Michelle, who continues to hang out in the studio when she can, said, “These are the weirdest lyrics ever and they make no sense.” Jeannie, who usually pretty much ignores my creative efforts, was in earshot and said \u201cThose are awesome lyrics. What is that?\u201d So I guess you love it or you hate it.<\/p>\n

Black Swan<\/strong> Black swan – out of the blue sky You know it killed the dinosaurs Black swan \u2013 no red light flashing Today\u2019s the day the wall comes down And as you learn the waves you ride Black swan \u2013 the circle closing Today\u2019s the day the wall comes down Now that I have the bass part down and the song is falling into place, here are the lyrics to Black Swan.

\nSnowblind the morning sun
\nBlack swan – makes a big wave
\nPermanent change oh yeah it\u2019s come<\/p>\n
\nYou know it started World War Three
\nYou know it messed up my computer
\nAnd took away my MTV
\nOver the event horizon
\nLies a future you can\u2019t see
\nGet ready – for the singularity<\/p>\n
\nThe needle runs right off the chart
\nBlack swan \u2013 the damage done now
\nToo late to run too late to start<\/p>\n
\nTonight\u2019s the rise of the machine
\nMove me to a window seat
\nI\u2019ll show you what I mean
\nImagine no imagining
\nHow bright the brave new world will be
\nGet ready – for the singularity<\/p>\n
\nThey carry you to the other side
\nBut nothing ever really ends
\nLook out! Here come that change again<\/p>\n
\nWatching the watchmen watching you
\nBlack swan \u2013 not fade away now
\nThe other side is breaking thru<\/p>\n
\nTonight\u2019s the rise of the machine
\nMove me to a window seat
\nI\u2019ll show you what I mean
\nImagine no imagining
\nHow white my shirts could be
\nGet ready – for the singularity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
