Everything Went Black
Everything Went Black was played consistently throughout their 2014 & 2015 tours. It was played a couple of times during their tour supporting Yours before being dropped completely.
The original version of this song is vastly different. It features movie samples, a drum-groove reminiscent of songs like Monotonie or Gentleman of the Year, more upbeat vocals and a lot of bass synths. The song eventually fades out with a touching combination of chords and vocals.
[Intro]
Hello?
[Verse 1]
Her name was Rita, the whore
La vida loca for sure
She knocked 'em out of the park
Streetwalkin' holes in her shoes
Another sip of the booze
And everything went black
[Verse 2]
His name was Norman OG
Don't you come cryin' to me
The day that changed his life
He married Rita, the whore
La vida loca no more
He said „Be back in no time“
What is it?
[Chorus 1]
Calls for a cigarette (Yes)
As good as it can get (Fresh)
And kill some time
It's never comin' back
It's never comin' back
[Verse 3]
Forward to Mary and Steve
Just turnin' twenty and free
She really liked his style
Attracted over the moon
They got together and soon
She was expecting a child
[Chorus 2]
Calls for a cigarette
As good as it can get
And kill some time
It's never comin' back
Calls for a cigarette
So don't you wanna bet
And kill some time?
Who, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The calls for a cigarette
As good as it can get
And kill some time
It's never comin' back
[Bridge]
She caught an evil disease
It broke her down to her knees
Eventually took her life, wooh
A-a-a-a-a-a-a, and when Steve heard the news
Took out the doctor she used
And left the scene with a smile
And left the scene with a
Smile
[Outro]
It's never comin' back
Calls for a cigarette
As good as it can get
And kill some time, sing it!
It's never comin' back
It's never comin' back, that's right
Never comin' back, say what?
It's never comin' back, uh-huh
