Lyrics
BLACK & WHITE MOVIES
I heard the snap of a latch
Then the rustle of clothes
Why I said what I said
Only my mouth knows
Now she?s taking off her bra,
She?s taking off her hose
She?s puttin? on a dress
And out alone she goes
Black and white movies killed the night till dawn
They pass the time when she is gone
I go out in the morning, people say I look drawn
Black and white movies killed the night till dawn
I thought Bogey was tough
But no one?s tough as you
I thought Garbo was cold
Till Miss North Wind blew thru
Now the only thing missing
From the late show dial
Is me as the clown
But without a smile
(Chorus)
As I sit in the glow of this old TV set
I?m hoping your done,
or is there some more torture yet?
The shit hits the fan everytime you come home
Then it?s just me sitting here all alone
(Chorus)
