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 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

Ooh I know she gave me all that she wore


And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything

Oh 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 sear?

Oh and 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 I'll be yeah


Uh huh uh huh ooh


I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky but why

Why why can't it be why can't it be mine


Aah uuh


Too doo doo too too doo doo [many times until fade
