Lyrics

[00:30.44] Long before you ever saw your chances
[00:34.27] You were going to burn this city down
[00:38.15] Tired of the fashions and the dances
[00:41.82] Tired of the people standing around
[00:45.74] Ticking like a bomb in the night
[00:49.67] And you knew you were right
[00:53.34] Black and white
[00:57.12] Blame it on the time it took to leave here
[01:00.53] Blame it on the ones who slowed you down
[01:04.35] Blame it on the kind of friends you knew here
[01:08.08] Blame it on the sickness going 'round
[01:12.21] Going round and round in the night
[01:16.12] With your heart out of sight
[01:19.80] With your world burning bright
[01:23.61] Like a moth 'round a light
[01:26.89] Black and white
[01:30.72] The pictures of a life in flames
[01:33.88] Black and white
[01:38.26] The picture of a life remains
[01:42.72] And the search you half remember
[01:46.37] Setting out on at the start
[01:50.44] Is burning like an ember in your heart
[01:58.99] Time running out time running out
[02:02.56] For the fool still asking what his life is about
[02:06.33] Time running out time running out
[02:14.59] Time running out time running out
[02:17.61] Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt
[02:21.18] Time running out time running out
[02:42.37] Tell them that you've gone to find a person
[02:45.75] Someone you lost track of long ago
[02:49.67] Tell them that it's someone you need worse than
[02:53.23] Anybody else you'll ever know
[02:57.26] Ticking like a bomb in the night
[03:01.38] You were strong, you were light
[03:05.06] You were fast, you were bright
[03:08.69] Then you were gone in the light
[03:12.26] Black and white
[03:15.98] The pictures of a life in flames
[03:19.67] Black and white
[03:23.28] The picture of a life remains
[03:27.97] And the high ideals and the promise
[03:31.73] You once dressed the future in
[03:35.72] Are dancing in the embers with the wind
[03:44.07] Time running out time running out
[03:47.79] For the fool still asking what his life is about
[03:51.48] Time running out time running out
[04:00.19] Time running out time running out
[04:03.67] Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt
[04:07.40] Time running out time running out
[04:11.07] and you know it's true
