I was looking at the black and white world It 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... |
