Black

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, ah

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
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Mm, oh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I see her?

Mm-hm, all the twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll be, yeah

Uh-huh
(Uh-huh, ooh)

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? Oh, can't it be mine?

(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Ooh, ah, yeah
Ah, ooh-ooh

(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (oh, oh, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah-ah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah-ah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah-ah, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (yeah, ah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
