I was looking at the black and white world
It seemed so exciting
If you’d only put me back to back with that girl
When the night’s inviting
With just a little lighting
There’ll never be days like that again
When I was just a boy and men were men
You never go from moment to moment
You’re the living double of a single fiction
You’re very colorful with your compliments
As you feel the finger’s friction
It’s a freeze-frame
Still it’s real life
You don’t want to look
'Cause you’ve seen the film and you’ve read the book
I was looking at the black and white world
Trying to name some pin-up
Those days she was just a beautiful girl
Now she’s framed and hung up
I thought she was young
Up until I saw her last night in close detail
Though they all fade away when you’re so pale
It’s more than just a physical attraction
It starts with a face and ends up a fixation
But you’re never gonna feel a fraction
Of the way it used to work on your imagination
When you were looking at the black and white world
When you were looking at the black and white world
When you were looking at the…
When you were looking at the black and white world
When you were looking at the black and white world
When you were looking at the black and white world
When you were looking at the black and white world
When you were looking, when you were looking
When you were looking at the black and white world…
