[Intro]
Oh-ho
Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Yea, now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh
And all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything

[Verse 2]
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
Oh I can feel their laughter, oh, so why do I search?
Oh and twisted thoughts that spin around my head
Oh I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away?

[Chorus]
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
Oh all the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything

[Post-Chorus]
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
And tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Hey-ey-ey, mm-hmm

[Bridge]
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
Yeah, ah yeah, ah ooh
Mm, yeah-hah, yeah-hah
Yeah-hah
Oh-oh-oh, mm
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh

[Spoken Word: Eddie Vedder]
Hey, we've got a few friends out there, one of them in particular, who runs EZ Street Records. Here's a big toast to Mr. Matt Vaughn, and EZ Street Records. There used to be two, but a nice bank called CitiBank, who runs lots of ads like "We take care of the little man," and they knocked him out of his - where was that shop? Yeah, the one on Mercer. Yeah, the CitiBank that takes care of everybody. Knocked that small business right out of that fuckin' place. So here's a fuck you toast to CitiBank, thank you very much
