In The Black Lyrics - Singles - The Unseen Guest

I've been washing myself down in your backwaters 

I've been filling up my lungs in your city streets 

I've seen the up-side and the down of your servant's quarters 

I've been grinding down my hands in your empty fields 

So spare me some extra before you go 

There's a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store 

Chorus: 

I'm not asking for charity 

Just help me till the next time I get paid 

I don't care if you need me 

Just keep me.... In the black for another day 

I've sent a letter of application a 1000 times 

I've been trying to climb the ladder in a borrowed tie 

But you never give me a call back when you say 

And you put me on the long figure for another day 

So spare me some extra before you go 

There's a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store 

Chorus
