Radio Paradise (mobile)

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the Earth reaches the Sun
Now, the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?
Mm, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Woo
I know that someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Why can't it be mine?
Ah, yeah
Uh, woo-hoo

I pay to hear Eddie Vedder, not drunks and high people waving their iPhones at the stage. I am with you. Most live recordings seem unable to resist mixing in too much of the crowd. [ Reply ]

The feeling in the audience for this band is one I've never experienced - and I've been going to live rock shows for 35 years. [ Reply ]

hupenpaula Jul 31, 2012 - 11:56	<<Black>> is for me one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. This version is absolutely amazing and this song will never die! "I know someday you..." Thank you Pearl Jam for this!!! [ Reply ]

dsd Jul 20, 2012 - 06:21	Love this song. The studio version is so powerful—this version seems insipid to me until the audience jumps in and carries the thing through. [ Reply ]
