Stephen Malkmus
Black Book
[Verse 1]
Offer your trust to a friend
Who is not what he says
And he knows when you're dry, what you're thinkin'
Trout in the brook, you're about to get hooked
To a greedy false un-Catholic knave

[Chorus]
The Black Book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why? Cousin why? Cousin why?

The Black Book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why? Cousin why? Cousin why?

[Verse 2]
I took the locomotive to Kreutzberg
I passed through the scenery
And passengers got on that train too
And they really surprised me when they said:

[Chorus]
The Black Book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why? Cousin why? Cousin why?

The Black Book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why? Cousin why? Cousin why?

[Verse 3]
I've got some friends
But I got some enemies too
And yes I got some people in between
People just like you

[Chorus]
The Black Book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified
Cousin why? Cousin why? Cousin why?
The Black Book you took
Was permanent-ally diversified

[Outro]
Diversify with your [?]
Diversify with your [?]
