I was looking at the black and white world
  It seemed so exciting
  If you'd only put me back to back with that girl
  When the night's inviting
  With just a little lighting
  There'll never be days like that again
  When I was just a boy and men were men
  You never go from moment to moment
  You're the living double of a single fiction
  You're very colourful with your compliments
  As you feel the finger's friction
  It's a freeze-frame
  Still it's real life
  You don't want to look
  Cause you've seen the film and you've read the book
  I was looking at the black and white world
  Trying to name some pin-up
  Those days she was just a beautiful girl
  Now she's framed and hung up
  I thought she was young
  Up until I saw her last night in close detail
  Though they all fade away when you're so pale
  It's more than just a physical attraction
  It starts with a face and ends up a fixation
  But you're never gonna feel a fraction
  Of the way it used to work on your imagination
  When you were looking at the black and white world...
