It's all just Black and White

I read about you today, your big promotion and your camera shot

You looked really good, with your smile, kind of a smirk to it

So I guess you fooled them again, still smuggling that money in

Hope you don't get caught, it might not be too late to get out of this mess

I know you best, the rest doesn't count, you really do take good pictures when you dress

Dress up in those suits and ties, keep telling those lies, pretty soon you'll be wearing a new suit in the pin

I keep holding on to what you could have been, you made me feel like a real queen

Time just slipped away, and the mob took you with them, just hold on to that grin

I'll keep my fingers crossed, and I'll keep checking in, I'll pick up a paper now and then

Next new headlines, I see today, not surprised you're going away, I'll write you time to time

It's all black and white, the ink doesn't lie, I'm sure you didn't sell out the head of your gang,

Shot in the head they found him that way, I will keep looking for that new headline that says you were framed

You'll be released today, I will be waiting for you with my pass on the train, reading the headlines hoping you're not named

It's all black and white, my dearest Wolfgang
