Black Is White Lyrics - Singles - The Gone Jackals

All I want is a little sign 

to tell my left from right, 

before the ground beneath me 

sets it's sights. 

All I need is a reference guide 

to tell the day from the night 

'cause 

Black is white. 

The sky is red. 

That mean ol' world's been 

messin' with my head. 

Down is up to the upside down, 

is that what's being said? 

The deep blue sun's been 

trippin' on the dead. 

Time spits stakes in a yellow line 

from which no man will ever rise, 

'cause 

Black is white. 

The sky is red. 

I drag my sense of reason 

to the shed. 

No place to hide inside the yellow lind. 

No bargains struck, all appeals denied. 

Black is white. 

The sky is red. 

Concrete crumbles beneath my feet, 

I struggle for every step. 

The Birdman rules the roost, 

I must confess. 

Concrete crumbles beneath my feet 

and all bets are off 

'cause 

Black is white. 

The sky is red. 

That mean ol' world's 

done taken out my friend.
