Big black nothing
Fooling everyone
Big black nothing
Put a halo around what you've done
Because a big black nothing
Is coming up.
Would you be my
Would you still be my friend
If I told you
It's all just pretend?
'cause a big black nothing
Is not the end.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sing (big) me (black) something (nothing)
Something I can feel
Sing (big) it (black) louder (nothing)
The whole world has to hear
Because a big black nothing
Was made to appeal.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lock the doors
Hide the keys
Flipping channels
Through the streets
All this news
Just makes me scared of you and you and you.
Board up the windows
Unplug the phone
Make it look like
Nobody's home
I was scared
But so prepared for the worst, yeah for the worst.
Big black nothing
Fooling everyone
Big black nothing
Put a halo 'round what you've done
It's just a big black nothing.
