Black Gold

Black and Gold ---Katy Perry

The fish swam

Out of the ocean

And grew legs

And they started walking

And the apes climbed down

From the trees

And grew tall

And they started talking

And the stars

Fell out of the sky

And my tears

Rolled into the ocean

Now I'm looking

For a reason why

You even set my world

Into motion

'cause if you're not

Really here

Then the stars

Don't even matter

Now I'm filled

To the top with fear

But it's all

Just a bunch of matter

'cause if you're not

Really here

Then I don't want

To be either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold

Black and gold

Black and gold

I looked up

Into the grey sky

And see a thousand eyes

Staring back

And all around

These golden beacons

I see nothing but black

I feel a way of something

Beyond them

I don't see

What I can feel

If vision

Is the only validation

Then most of my life

Isn't real

'cause if you're not

Really here

Then the stars

Don't even matter

Now I'm filled

To the top with fear

But it's all

Just a bunch of matter

'cause if you're not

Really here

Then I don't want

To be either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold

Black and gold

Black and gold

'cause if you're not

Really here

Then the stars

Don't even matter

Now I'm filled

To the top with fear

But it's all

Just a bunch of matter

'cause if you're not

Really here

Then I don't want

To be either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold

Black and gold

Black and gold
