Lyrics
In Black and White
She is charm she is anger
She doesn't seem to notice the shades of grey
There will only ever be the right thing to say
Oh I'm in trouble cause I'm a bubble flying
To burst with a shot in a quick gunfight
She can only see in black and white
She can only see in black and white
Me I see in many colours
A pink and a mauve and a green sunset
A tawny sort of brown and a russet gold
So I'm a double crossing violet
To burn with a torch in a fire fight
She can only see in black and white
She can only see in black and white
Aching life yes I need her
It's written on my brain and the skin around the heart
I can't shake off this damning past
So I'm a walking talking target
To shoot in the blood with a poison dart
She can only see in black and white
She can only see in black and white
She can only see in black and white
She can only see in black and white
