Songtext von Shades of Black

Shades of black Are hard to spot Spit on me Forget me not Broken stars Look good in print Scandals taste like springs of mint You can't say no to a cellophane heart You can't say no to a work of art We all need that centerfold part of life So come on roll the dice Sometimes we lie And I think we'd rather cry like crocodiles Than look ourselves straight in the eye Everybody's talking Damned malicious make believe Everybody's talking Shades of black in magazines Everybody's talking 'Bout the things you left behind Everybody's talking There's no way to ease your mind Shades of black Will take their toll Misery Like solid gold Resting upon Paper shoulders Are camera Obscura soldiers You can't say no to a cellophane heart You can't say no to a work of art We all need that centerfold part of life So come on roll the dice Sometimes we lie And I think we'd rather cry like crocodiles Than look ourselves straight in the eye Everybody's talking Damned malicious make believe Everybody's talking Shades of black in magazines Everybody's talking 'Bout the things you left behind Everybody's talking There's no way to ease your mind
