Take a look at my life, all black
Take a look at my clothes, all black
Like Johnny Cash, all black
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
Like the night that we met, all black
Like the colour of your dress, all black
Like the seats in my Cadillac
I used to see red, now just all black
As long as I could remember I dreamed in black and white
As I grew up and the sun went down I never felt more alright
My mother she use to tell me...Son you better get to church
And its a dark dark world and the people out there and you know its only getting worse
Yeah, I never been much for weddings or anniveraries but
I go to a funeral if Im invited any day of the week
Some people say that I sound strange some say I'm not right
But I find beauty in this world every single night
Take a look at my life, all black
Take a look at my clothes, all black
Like Johnny Cash, all black
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
Like the night that we met, all black
Like the colour of your dress, all black
Like the seats in my Cadillac
I used to see red, now just all black
I sat down at her table at the end of the night
She was having black coffee and a cigarette, she wasnt wearing white
She said, people tell me that I am strange they say that I am not right
She said the only time I feel alright is in the dead of night
I think I found the one for me
Take a look at my life, all black
Take a look at my clothes, all black
Like Johnny Cash, all black
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
Like the night that we met, all black
Like the colour of your dress, all black
Like the seats in my Cadillac
I used to see red, now just all black
I remember feeling so alive
The night I look into her eyes,
Take a look at my life...
