Black - Live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - September 1, 2000

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
And now the air I tasted and breathed
Had taken a turn

Mmm, and all I taught her was everything, that's all
Mmm, I know she gave me all that she wore, yeah

And now my bitter hands, chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
And 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 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
Oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh, oh yeah

I know that someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
Why, why, why can't it be
Can't it be mine?
Mmm-mmm
Oh, yeah
Oh
