shades of black

every day is just another shade of black
every day is just another shade of black
every day is just another shade of black
are you ever coming back?

how would you like your coffee, sir?
how would you like your toast?
is everything okay mister?
you're pale as a ghost
somebody call a doctor
somebody call a priest
cause his head is leaning westward
but his eyes are in the east
oh everyone, please remain calm
you can go about your business
it's another false alarm

every day is just another shade of black
every day is just another shade of black
every day is just another shade of black
are you ever coming back?

the hen is in the henhouse
fixing your last meal
it's not exactly what you want
but still a very good deal
everything about you is
spelled out right before your eyes
it's a shame about the ending
but the binding's just sublime
it's pointless to continue this fight
the clouds have turned to ashes
and there's not a single star out there tonight

every day is just another shade of black
every day is just another shade of black
every day is just another shade of black
are you ever coming back?

end.
