| Pearl Jam: Black (Ten) 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 And all I taught her was everything I know she gave me all that she was And now my bitter hands Shake beneath the clouds 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 swear Oh, and twisted thoughts that surround 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 All the pictures have been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Has turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll ever be...yeah uh huh...uh huh...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 mine?? back |
