Pearl Jam - Black

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 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 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?

Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round 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 Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh

I know someday, you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky But why, why, why can't it be Oh, can't it be mine?

Ooh Ah, yeah Ah, ooh-ooh

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (oh, oh-yeah)
