Dream In Black & White

Dream In Black & White (Now The Truth Can Be Told Album Version) - Steve Taylor

Suburban sun

Is slowly dying

Suburban moon

It never lives

The wife just nods when you get home now

You stay together for the kids

Six o'clock

You watch the headlines

By half past ten

Your eyes are glued

You spent the daylight making deadlines

Tonight the tv is making you

You may watch the world in color

In the corner burning bright

You may watch the world in color

But you dream in black and white

The shadows flicker

Across your face now

The image sinks

Inside your brain

With just a few more magic dollars

You could make yourself a name

Sporty cars

Surround your castle

With a roof antenna

Reaching to the sky

A commercial message for the good life

Is just a simulated lie

You may watch the world in color

Your only friend when times are tight

You may watch the world in color

But you dream in black and white
