Black Lyrics - Singles - Bronson Arroyo

(by Pearl Jam) 

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 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
