PEARL JAM - "BLACK" (LIVE - MTV UNPLUGGED) :
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 how quick the sun can drop away.
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass/ 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 see her?
Ooh 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/ Oh 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...
Oh oh Oh oh
ooo
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, can't it be mine?
We belong together!
We belong together!
