I never wear white
|
White is for virgins
|
Children in summer
|
Brides in the park
|
|
My color is black, black, black
|
Black is for secrets
|
Outlaws and dancers
|
For the poet of the dark
|
|
Black is the truth
|
Of my situation
|
And for those of my station
|
In life, all other colors lie
|
|
I never wear white
|
White is too blinding
|
Always reminding
|
Of the innocent who fall
|
|
My color is black, black, black
|
For the crone and the bastard
|
The schoolgirl in uniform
|
The servant in the hall
|
|
Black is the truth
|
Of my situation
|
And for those of my station
|
In life, all other colors lie
|
|
My color is black, black, black
|
Like the gangster and widow
|
It's the shade and the shadow
|
It's the depth into your eye
|
|
My color is black, black, black, black, black
|
|
