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 colourful 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...
