about

A song about my girlfriend's purse.

lyrics

Black Leather Black Hole

She carries a black hole in her hand
Fills it up with her particulars
A black hole with a black strap attached
That she sling over her womanly shoulder

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole, oh no!
She give to it but it don't like givin' back

Deep inside the black hole that she holds
She got almost everything she'd ever need
The problem is, black holes swallow things
That they don't give back, ya what they take they tend to keep

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole, oh no!
Holding tightly sweet Maria's things

It's like a person who keeps their mouth shut
Like a muddy lake to your average swimmer
Like a land-locked cave to a creature of the sea
There are secrets to be found but they're just out of reach

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
She carries it with her wherever she go
Her black leather black hole

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
She's lookin' for her keys and cursin' the purse below
Her black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
