Black (Live in St Paul, 8/31/2023)

Help me, if you want

Hey-hey-hey

Oh, oh-oh-oh

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

Yeah, now the air I tasted and breathe has taken a turn

Mmm, and all I taught her was everything, that's all

Mmm-hmm, 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 had 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

So why do I sear?

Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round 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-yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I hope you'll be a star in somebody else's sky

Why, why, why can't it be

Can't it be mine?

Ooh

Ah, yeah-yeah-yeah

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

We belong

We belong together, together, together

We belong together

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
