Pearl Jam - Black

Black

Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay.
were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All fi have 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
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
shade beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black,
Tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
Imsurrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter,
So why do I sneer?
hard and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
Imspinning, oh, Imspinning
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 I will be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you wi will have a beautiful life,
I know you wi will be a star
In somebody elses sky, but why
Why, why can not it be, why can not it be mine...
