Blame it on the kind of friends you knew here
Ticking like a bomb in the night
Time running out time running out
And the high ideals and the promise
Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt
The picture of a life remains
Blame it on the sickness going 'round
And you knew you were right
Time running out time running out
Yeah, beyond a shadow of a doubt
Time running out time running out
You were strong, you were light
Going round and round in the night
Time running out time running out
Are dancing in the embers with the wind
Tired of the people standing around
Black and white
Black and white
Someone you lost track of long ago
Then you were gone in the light
Tell them that it's someone you need worse than
For the fool still asking what his life is about
You once dressed the future in
Tell them that you've gone to find a person
Tired of the fashions and the dances
The pictures of a life in flames
With your world burning bright
Time running out time running out
And the search you half remember
Black and white
Ticking like a bomb in the night
Time running out time running out
The picture of a life remains
The pictures of a life in flames
Is burning like an ember in your heart
For the fool still asking what his life is about
Blame it on the ones who slowed you down
You were fast, you were bright
Setting out on at the start
With your heart out of sight
Black and white
Anybody else you'll ever know
Like a moth 'round a light
Blame it on the time it took to leave here
Time running out time running out
Black and white
