Black [Live on Two Legs]
[Intro]
Hey, hey, yeah, oh
[Verse 1]
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay, yeah
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did, yeah
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun, yeah
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything, yeah that's right
Mm, I know she gave me all that she wore, yeah
[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath thе clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the picturеs 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 sear?
Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
[Post-Chorus]
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Uhhh, oooh
[Bridge]
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I hope you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
Ooh, ah yeah, ah, oh
