Black
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, ah
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
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Mm, oh, 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 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 see her?
Mm-hm, all the twisted thoughts that spin 'round 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
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 that I'll 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? Oh, can't it be mine?
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Ooh, ah, yeah
Ah, 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)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (oh, oh, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah-ah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah-ah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ah-ah, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (yeah, ah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) (ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Negro
Oye, oye, oye
Sí, ah
Lienzos en blanco
Láminas de arcilla intactas
Estaban extendidos ante mí
Como antes lo estuvo su cuerpo
Los cinco horizontes
Giraban alrededor de su alma
Como la Tierra alrededor del Sol
Ahora el aire que yo saboreaba y respiraba
Ya no es el mismo
Uh, y yo le enseñé absolutamente todo a ella
Hum, oh, sé que ella me dio todo lo que llevaba puesto
Y ahora mis manos amargas
Se lastiman bajo las nubes
De lo que antes lo era todo
Todas las fotografías
Quedaron teñidas de negro
Tatuándolo todo
Salgo a caminar
Me rodean unos niños que están jugando
Puedo sentir sus risas
Entonces, ¿por qué la veo a ella?
Hum-hum, todos esos pensamientos retorcidos que dan vueltas en mi cabeza
Estoy dando vueltas, oh, dando vueltas
Qué rápido puede desaparecer el Sol
Y ahora mis manos amargas
Acunan los vidrios rotos
De lo que antes lo era todo
Todas las fotografías
Quedaron teñidas de negro
Tatuándolo todo
Todo el amor que terminó mal
Tiñó mi mundo de negro
Tatuó todo lo que veo
Todo lo que soy
Todo lo que seré, sí
Ajá
(Ajá, uh)
Sé que algún día tendrás una vida hermosa
Sé que serás una estrella
En el cielo de alguien más, pero ¿por qué? ¿Por qué?
¿Por qué no puede ser? Oh, ¿por qué no puede ser el mío?
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
Uh, ah, sí
Ah, uh-uh
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (oh, oh, sí)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (ah-ah)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (ah-ah)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (ah, sí)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (ah-ah, sí)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (sí, ah)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (sí, sí, sí)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du) (uh-uh)
Uh-uh, uh-uh
(Du-du-du-du, du-du-du)
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh
