Black or White — текст песни (Steve Harley)

Behind the wall the ears of love are listening

Behind the door they kneel

Behind the boy from whom we steal

Behind the dark, deserted halls of memory

Inside the sound: "ahoy !

"we have just landed for employ

"we need your hands to carru us to our joy"

To black or white

And step on it

Black or white



Between the shadow and uncertain colour

Between the word and sign

Between the man and all his time

Between the sidewalk and the moving stairway

Between the yay and nay !

There falls the thruth we aim to slay

There falls the thruth we do so righteous flay

Come black or white

And step on it

Black or white



Until we gather life and all our dreams

Until we cool the heat

Until we share our cup of meat

Until the trail of waste is put to stud

Until we drift away

Towards the picture in the frame

Our celebratian comes a game to play

Just black or white

And step on it

Black or white
