Black (Kaufman Astoria Studios - MTV Unplugged - New York, NY 3/16/1992)

Hey-hey, oh Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Laid spread out before me, as her body once did, mmm All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun, yeah Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Mmh, and all I taught her was everything Mmh, how quick the sun can drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures had all been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play, ooh I can feel their laughter, oh, so why do I sear? Mmh, and twistin' thoughts that spin 'round my head I'm spinning, oh-oh-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 had 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, no I know 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 Oh, can't it be mine? Hm-hm, no yeah, yeah no We, we belong, we belong together, together We, we belong, we belong together, yeah
