Intro:   x4


		 		   		   	
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched  sheets of clay.
      		         	                   
were laid spread out before me as her body once did


                                            
...All five horizons revolved around her soul    As the earth to the sun
                                                 
Now the air I tasted and breathed Has taken a turn 


                                     
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
                                     
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

            
And now my bitter hands
         
shade beneath the clouds
                  
Of what was everything?
                           
Oh, the pictures seared 
           
all been washed in black
                          
 Tattooed everything...



            			                      
...I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
  		     	           		
..I can feel their laughter, So why do I sear?


					
and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
			    	                                
I'm spinning, 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 seared 
           
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...ooh...

                                                                   
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun
                                                                                 
In somebody else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be  
	             		
can't it be miiiineeeeee...
