Crowded House Black And White Boy lyrics

Black and white boy, black and white boy
You're so extreme, you're so confused
Now color me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you

And you're full of the wonder of spring
It's all sweetness and lightness you bring
And a room full of people
Fall to your infinite charm

But when darkness should quickly descend
You go quietly, my miserable friend
To the depths of despair you will crawl
Black and white boy

Black and white boy, black and white boy
You're so extreme, you're so confused
Now color me in whatever mood I'm in
I could be still in touch with you


When you shake off the shadows of night
And your eyes are so clear and so bright
You'll make fools of the liars and creeps
Put a rose in my cheeks

But when demons have climbed on your back
You are vicious and quick to attack
And you put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy, black and white boy

And you run like a cat to the cream
And you're acting so nice it's obscene
You put on a wonderful show
Do you really, really think I don't know?
Black and white boy, black and white boy
Black and white boy, black and white boy
