Black - Live: Flinders Park Tennis Centre, Melbourne, Australia 17 Mar 95

Hey, hey-hey
Ah-ah, hey

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
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
Oh, I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?

Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head
I'm spinnin', oh-oh, I'm spinnin'
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 (doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, no, ooh-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
Can't it be mine?

Ah-ah
Oh, yeah
No, 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 (oh, yeah)

Oh, we
We belong together
We belong together
We belong together
Ooh-ooh

Fucks with my head when we do that
