Black (Pearl Jam Cover)
Hey
[Incomprehensible] of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All, all five horizons
Revolved [Incomprehensible]
As the earth to the sun
Now, the air I tasted
And breathed has taken a turn
Oh, and all I taught her was everything
Oh, 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
Well, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
Oh, 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 ever be, yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be the star
In somebody else's sky but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
