Black And White World Lyrics by Eric Burdon

My Secret Life

2004

I'm a war child raised from the ashes radium
The sunlight burns my eyes so I pray for the night to come
In the back row darkness I burst my bubble
Because it's there that misfits like me can stay out of trouble
I live in a black and white world
I love those black and white movies
You see when you're not of this earth
It's not so easy to move me
Me Mike and Mickey were hiding from the daylight
Salivating at the femme fatale her dress is so tight
She whispers in my ear as we dance to white jazz
You got a light baby when she knows that's all I've ever had
I live in a black and white world
I love those black and white movies
You see when you're not of this earth
It's not so easy to move me
Precious white milk skin black and blue bruises
In the backseat of a cab full of rhythem and blueses
We go uptown downtown looking for Louis Galanka
He's going to get us false passports man and we can
Sail off to Casa Blanca
I live in a black and white world
I love those black and white movies
You see when you're not of this earth
It's not so easy to move me
I'm not afraid of dying anymore
Because it's the only chance I've got to meet my maker
And it's the opportunity I've been waiting for
To say hello and hats off to Josephine Baker
That girl is living in a black and white world
I love those black and white movies
You see when you're not of this earth
It's not so easy to move me
Black white world black white movies
You see when you're not of this earth
It's not so easy to move me
Late at night, black and white
Black white black white
Black and white
