Black (Live) [Live]

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
And now the air I tasted and breathe has taken a turn

Mmm, and all I taught her was everything
Mmm-hmm, 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 had all been washed in black
And tattooed everything

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

Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head
I'm spinning, oh-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 I'll be, yeah-yeah
Yeah

I hope 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?

Ah
Oh, yeah
