I made myself strong
By getting my skin numb
And loosening up the thumbs
By pumping out the black tar water

I made myself real
By ripping up magazines
And staving off disease
By pumping out the black tar water

I made my friends leave
With tightrope at their knees
And laughing when they sneeze
I’m throwing up the black tar water

I start to tell it wrong
While singing in a song
Where robbers held up guns
They’re shooting out the black tar water

Dripping off follicles
Seeping out my pores
Filling up my lungs
Oh my my

Dripping off follicles
Seeping out my pores
Filling up my lungs
Oh oh my my
My black tar water
My black tar water
