Pearl Jam
Black (Live 2017)
[Intro]
Hey, hey
Oh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Yea, now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh
And all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
[Verse 2]
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
Oh I can feel their laughter, oh, so why do I search?
Oh and twisted thoughts that spin around my head
Oh I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away?
[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
Oh all the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
[Post-Chorus]
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
And tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Hey-ey-ey, mm-hmm
[Bridge]
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
Yeah, ah yeah, ah ooh
Mm, yeah-hah, yeah-hah
Yeah-hah
