Black (I.L. 1992) [Live] Songtext
von Pearl Jam

Hey-hey, oh

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Laid spread out before me, as her body once did, mmm
All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun, yeah
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Mmh, and all I taught her was everything
Mmh, how quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
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, ooh
I can feel their laughter, oh, so why do I sear?
Mmh, and twistin' thoughts that spin ′round my head
I'm spinning, oh-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 had 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

Uh-huh
Uh-huh, no

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
Oh, can′t it be mine?
Hm-hm, no yeah, yeah no


We, we belong, we belong together, together
We, we belong, we belong together, yeah
