old black dawning

i hung around

on the planet mabel

she tried to stand

but she was not able

she tried to find the truth

she tried to colonize space

she only had a few

but it was a good race

old black dawning is coming on

old black dawning is coming on

old black dawning

old black dawning

i'm always happy to

go down to old tucson

after you had your fun

it's time to move on

i've got a favorite story

about the tower of babel

some say it's true

and some say it's a fable

old black dawning is coming on

old black dawning is coming on

old black dawning

old black dawning
