Black And White

Patiently listnin'

You're keepin' your distance

And I'm still hoping that we can be friends

But if that's too much then I'll ask no more than

This which we've buried

Yes I had one once but I guess she's married

And, yes, I have a photograph

Somewhere

I guess I'll tell you if you really wanna know that bad

Isn't she beautiful?

Isn't she beautiful?

I know, I know

Isn't she

We're all pretty when we die

Prim and pittied in black and white

White oh

Go and put on your perfume

Smile away the afternoon

Noon

Well your brother got married to a faithless heart

And straightened his trunks for angels' voices

Ah ah ah

Shotgun wedding on the porch

On the fifth of May

And everybody sayin' yeah, they'll be okay

They're so great

They're so nice together

You're the happy couple, may you die together

May you prosper 'till you die

Prim and pittied in black and white

White oh

May we dance until it rains

May we drink to hide our shame

Shame oh

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

We're all pretty when we die

Prim and pitied black and white, white oh

Go and put on your perfume

Smile away the afternoon, noon
