i promise to tell you
if i should stop believing
you move and dance with a slight of hand
that grabs and then retrieves me
not without a heavy toll
no
when did we get so old
how do i have a big black charcoal soul
it's been a while 
can't remember when we've last smiled
we seldom speak but when we try
a magnificent lie
not without a heavy toll
no, where did we get so old
how did i get the big black
how did i get the big black
Charcoal Soul
on this quiet night in this dim light
i promise to tell you
if i should stop believing
you move and dance
with slight of hand
to grab and then retrieve me
not without a heavy toll
when did we get so old
how did i get the big black charcoal
Soul
when did we get so old
how did i get the big black charcoal
Soul
