I Always Dream in Black and White

[verse}

My dreams have always been the same

Faceless figures without names

Features lost to light of day

My dreams have always been the same

 

[chorus]

I always dream in black and white

Shadow shapes pass through the night

Vapor haze in pale soft light

I always dream in black and white

 

[verse}

The haunted past disturbs the day

The pall it casts turns night to gray

We dance for its voodoo ballet

The haunted past disturbs the day

 

[chorus]

I always dream in black and white

Shadow shapes pass through the night

Vapor haze in pale soft light

I always dream in black and white

 

[bridge]

I try to stay awake at night to keep from going there again

Sleep descends and cracks the door to let my dreams come creeping in

Pale white smoke trails fill the catacombs of my tormented mind

Hues and shades are blended down to grays until I’m color-blind

 

[chorus}

I always dream in black and white

Shadow shapes pass through the night

Vapor haze in pale soft light

I always dream in black and white

 

I always dream in black and white

I always dream in black and white
