Browne Jackson Black And White Lyrics

Black And White Lyrics

Long before you ever saw your chances
You were gonna 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
