Black And White Boy

(album: Together Alone - 1993)

Black and white boy
Black and white boy
You're so extreme
You're so confused
Color me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you
And you're full of the wonder of spring
It's all sweetness and lightness you bring
And a room full of people fall to your infinite charm
But when darkness should quickly descend
You go quietly, my miserable friend
To the depths of despair you will crawl
Black and white boy

Black and white boy
Black and white boy
You're so extreme
You're so confused
Color me in
Whatever mood I'm in
I could be still
In touch with you

When you shake off the shadows of night
And your eyes are so clear and so bright
You'll make fools of the liars and creeps
Put a rose in my cheeks
But when demons have climbed on your back
You are vicious and quick to attack
And you put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy

And you run like a cat to the cream
And you're acting so nice it's obscene
You put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy
