Black And White Boy

Crowded House

Black and white boy

black and white boy

you're so extreme

you're so confused

I'm coloring in

whatever mood I'm in

I could be still

in touch with you



And you're full of the wondrous spring

it's all sweetness and lightness you bring

and a room full of people fallto your infinite charm

but when darkness should quickly descend

you go quietly, my miserable friend

to the depths of despair you will crawl

black and white boy



Black and white boy

black and white boy

you're so extreme

you're so confused

I'm coloring in

whatever mood I'm in

I could be still

in touch with you



When you shake off the shadows of night

and your eyes are so clear and so bright

you'll make fools of the liars and creeps

put a rose in my cheeks

but when demons have climbed on your back

you are vicious and quick to attack

and you put on a wonderful show

do you really, really think I don't know?

black and white boy



And you run like a cat to the cream

and you're acting so nice it's obscene

you put on a wonderful show

do you really, really think I don't know?
