Scott Walker - Where Does Brown Begin lyrics

To my mind, it all seemed a little strange That the people won't do the thing they ought to Some folks say the world ain't ever gonna change But in my heart I believe the other folks who got to- Who can't afford not to The daytime's bright, the nighttime's wonderful- And the twilight never really brings it to an end If white is right, and black is beautiful- Lord, where does brown begin? Tell me people- where does brown begin? Fire and water won't be mixing, so they say But I've seen the steamclouds rising, high and free Salt and pepper don't get in each other's way They just come together, and when they don't agree- They let each other be The daytime's right, the nighttime wonderful- And twilight never really brings it to an end If white is right, and black is beautiful- Lord, where does brown begin? Tell me people- where does brown begin?
