I Never Wear White Lyrics

I never wear white
White is for virgins
Children in summer
Brides in the park.My color is black black black
Black is for secrets
Outlaws and dancers
For the poet of the dark.Black is the truth
Of my situation
And for those of my station
In life, all the colors lie.I never wear white
White is too blinding
Always reminding
Of the innocent who fall.My color is black black black
For the crone, and the bastard
The school girl in uniform
The servant in the hall.Black is the truth
Of my situation
And those of my station

In life, all the colors lie.My color is black black black
Like the gangster and widow
It's the shade and the shadow
It's the depth into your eye.My color is black black black black black.
