Vanessa Daou
Black & White
Here's the pen you gave me to write my poetry
I said I'd give it back to you the day you stopped
Inspiring me, here's my glass it's empty

When the burning comes, when the liquid numbs
We go on to say: "Hey, isn't Hell fun!"
When Salome said "No" the first to ask had to go
When the second tried she just kept on dancing
All night, with her boots on, all night, all night long

Here's your portrait I painted - It's in black and white
"There is no in between for you", I said when you asked me why
We fuck through the night

When the burning comes, when the liquid numbs
We go on to say: "Hey, isn't Hell fun!"
When Salome said "No" the first to ask had to go
When the second tried she just kept on dancing
All night, with her boots on, all night, all night long

We live in a dream, no reality
We who believe in love
Life goes on without you
Love always, V
