Lyrics

Take your ruined scalp and turn it back the way you found it
Afraid to do it? Come on, try
Try to lie falling down
Walking down the aisle being passive to your weak mates
Shaking around, never sure of where the carpet terminates
Puff out that chest
Expect one who loves
Nadie arregrlará su pelo
Saçının esirisin
Can’t find time to solo, think, lay low

Try to run away against the wind that takes you to a different
state of mind
Upright your spine!
Afraid to admit your blackness
Fall down
that hill that always made you cry

Try to run away against the wind that takes you to a different
state of mind
Upright your spine!
Afraid to admit your blackness
Fall down
that hill that always made you cry

Take your ruined scalp and turn it back the way you found it
Afraid to do it? Come on, try
Try to lie falling down
Walking down the aisle being passive to your weak mates
Shaking around, never sure of where the carpet terminates
Puff out that chest
Expect one who loves
Nadie arregrlará su pelo
Saçının esirisin
Can’t find time to solo, think, lay low
(blah!)

Try to run away against the wind that takes you to a different
state of mind
Upright your spine!
Afraid to admit your blackness
Fall down
that hill that always made you cry

Cry
Ba dum bu dum (Doo-wop)
Ba dum (Doo-wop)
Bu dum (Doo-wop)
Ba dum-bum
That hill that always,
always made you cry

Ba dum bu dum (Doo-wop)
Ba dum (Doo-wop)
Bu dum (Doo-wop)
Ba dum-bum
That hill that always made you cry

Try to run away against the wind that takes you to a different
state of mind
Upright your spine!

(Rythmic interlude)

Afraid to admit your blackness
Fall down
that hill that always made you cry
