I was looking at the black and white world
It seemed so exciting
If you´d only put me back to back with that girl
When the night´s inviting
With just a little lighting

There´ll never be days like that again
When I was just a boy and men were men
You never go from moment to moment
You´re the living double of a single fiction
You´re very colourful with your compliments
As you feel the finger´s friction
It´s a freeze-frame
Still it´s real life
You don´t want to look
Cause you´ve seen the film and you´ve read the book
I was looking at the black and white world
Trying to name some pin-up
Those days she was just a beautiful girl
Now she´s framed and hung up
I thought she was young
Up until I saw her last night in close detail
Though they all fade away when you´re so pale

It´s more than just a physical attraction
It starts with a face and ends up a fixation
But you´re never gonna feel a fraction
Of the way it used to work on your imagination
When you were looking at the black and white world...
