Black and White |
| Long before you ever saw your chances |
| You were going to burn this city down |
| Tired of the fashions and the dances |
| Tired of the people standing around |
| Ticking like a bomb in the night |
| And you knew you were right |
| Black and white |
| Blame it on the time it took to leave here |
| Blame it on the ones who slowed you down |
| Blame it on the kind of friends you knew here |
| Blame it on the sickness going 'round |
| Going round and round in the night |
| With your heart out of sight |
| With your world burning bright |
| Like a moth 'round a light |
| Black and white |
| The pictures of a life in flames |
| Black and white |
| The picture of a life remains |
| And the search you half remember |
| Setting out on at the start |
| Is burning like an ember in your heart |
| Time running out time running out |
| For the fool still asking what his life is about |
| Time running out time running out |
| Time running out time running out |
| Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt |
| Time running out time running out |
| Tell them that you’ve gone to find a person |
| Someone you lost track of long ago |
| Tell them that it’s someone you need worse than |
| Anybody else you’ll ever know |
| Ticking like a bomb in the night |
| You were strong, you were light |
| You were fast, you were bright |
| Then you were gone in the light |
| Black and white |
| The pictures of a life in flames |
| Black and white |
| The picture of a life remains |
| And the high ideals and the promise |
| You once dressed the future in |
| Are dancing in the embers with the wind |
| Time running out time running out |
| For the fool still asking what his life is about |
| Time running out time running out |
| Time running out time running out |
| Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt |
| Time running out time running out |
