Black and White

Patiently listenin'
You're keepin' your distance but
I was still hoping that we could be friends
But if that's too much then
I'll ask no more than this which we've burried
And yes I had one once but I guess she's married
And yes I have a photograph somewhere
Don't ask I'll tell if you really wanna know that bad

Isn't she beautiful?
Isn't she beautiful
I know, I know
Isn't she?

We're all pretty when we die
Prim and pitted black and white, white
Go and put on your perfume
Smile away the afternoon, noon

Your brother got married to a faithless heart
And straightened his trunks for angels voices
Ah ah ah
Shotgun wedding on the porch
On the fifth of may
And everybody saying
Yeah they'll be okay
They're so great, they're so nice together
You're the happy couple, may you die together

May you prosper till you die
Prim and pitted black and white, white
May we dance until it rains
May we drink to hide our shame, shame

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

We're all pretty when we die
Prim and pitied black and white, white
Go and put on your perfume
Smile away the afternoon, noon
