Pearl Jam Pearl Jam
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 Hmmmm, and all I taught her was everything Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands, Chafe beneath clouds Of what was everything Oh, the pictures Have all been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play Oh, I can feel their laughter so, why do I sear Hmmmm, 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 have All been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Turned my world to black And tattooed all I see, All that I am, All I'll be Yeah Uh huh Uh huh I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky But why, why, why can't it be, Why can't it be mine
