Black Or White Lyrics - Steve Harley

Behind the wall the ears of love are listening 

Behind the door they kneel 

Behind the boy from whom we steal 

Behind the dark, deserted halls of memory 

Inside the sound: "ahoy ! 

"we have just landed for employ 

"we need your hands to carru us to our joy" 

To black or white 

And step on it 

Black or white 

Between the shadow and uncertain colour 

Between the word and sign 

Between the man and all his time 

Between the sidewalk and the moving stairway 

Between the yay and nay ! 

There falls the thruth we aim to slay 

There falls the thruth we do so righteous flay 

Come black or white 

And step on it 

Black or white 

Until we gather life and all our dreams 

Until we cool the heat 

Until we share our cup of meat 

Until the trail of waste is put to stud 

Until we drift away 

Towards the picture in the frame 

Our celebratian comes a game to play 

Just black or white 

And step on it 

Black or white
