black and white world
I was looking at the black and white worldIt seemed so exciting
If you?d only put me back to back with that girl
When the night?s inviting
With just a little lighting
There?ll never be days like that again
When I was just a boy and men were men
You never go from moment to moment
You?re the living double of a single fiction
You?re very colourful with your compliments
As you feel the finger?s friction
It?s a freeze-frame
Still it?s real life
You don?t want to look
Cause you?ve seen the film and you?ve read the book
I was looking at the black and white world
Trying to name some pin-up
Those days she was just a beautiful girl
Now she?s framed and hung up
I thought she was young
Up until I saw her last night in close detail
Though they all fade away when you?re so pale
It?s more than just a physical attraction
It starts with a face and ends up a fixation
But you?re never gonna feel a fraction
Of the way it used to work on your imagination
When you were looking at the black and white world...
