Black And White

(album: Seven + Mary - 2013)

Patiently listning
You're keeping 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 saying 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 pale in black and white
White oh

Go and put on your perfume
Smile away the afternoon
Noon
