Yeah... Oh yeah.
Sheets of empty canvas. Untouched sheets of clay. Yeah.
Laid spread out before me as her body once did. Yeah.
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. That's all.
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore. Yeah.

And now my bitter hands shade 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.
Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear?
Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head. Yeah.
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 I'll be. Yeah.

Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.
I hope you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but
why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
Oh... ohh yea oh
Do do do do do do do (x20 total)
