Hey-hey, oh

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clayLaid spread out before me, as her body once did, mmm

All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun, yeah

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Mmh, and all I taught her was everything

Mmh, how quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

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, ooh

I can feel their laughter, oh, so why do I sear?

Mmh, and twistin' thoughts that spin ′round my head

I'm spinning, oh-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 had 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

Uh-huh

Uh-huh, no

I know someday you′ll have a beautiful life

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

But why, why, why can't it be

Oh, can′t it be mine?

Hm-hm, no yeah, yeah no

We, we belong, we belong together, together

We, we belong, we belong together, yeah
