Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi Black lyrics

I touched the walls of the city streets<br />
[Incomprehensible] our ways<br />
I'd never ask him why<br />
Cast down, it was heaven sent<br />
And to the church, no intent to repent<br />
On my knees just to cry<br />
<br />
Until you travel to that<br />
Place you can't come back<br />
When the last pain is gone<br />
And all that's left is black<br />
<br />
The nights he's coming to me<br />
And some way, they'll punish my deeds<br />
When they'll find all the crimes<br />
But then they ask when they're gonna see them<br />
They're not gonna ask to feel the ghost<br />
The walls, the dreams, well, I've got mine<br />
<br />
At last, those coming came<br />

And they never looked back<br />
With blinding stars in their eyes<br />
But all they saw was black<br />
<br />
Fool them, hoping to seem<br />
Like the sleight of evil but deprived of greed<br />
And it's not a mass, so be honest with me<br />
We can't afford to ignore that I'm the disease<br />
Back to ghosts since we had to be in<br />
When they will only come back to me<br />
And they try, oh, they try<br />
<br />
And when you follow through<br />
And wind up on your back<br />
Looking up but no stars in the sky<br />
Those white clouds have turned to black
