Gino Vannelli - Black Cars Lyrics






Under the cover of night
She crawls into sight
Her skin is cold china white
She's a dark angel wearing dark glasses
Dark shadows under long false lashes

The light exposes the cracks
She wears her makeup like wax
To hide every scratch
'Cause she a dark angel riding dark horses
Sitting pretty in her dim lit corners... I say

Black cars look better in the shade
Black cars

She smears her lipstick on right before she sleeps
For all those phantom lovers in her dreams

She smokes them French cigarettes
In cocktail gloves and a strapless dress
She cuts a perfect silhouette

But she's a dark angel wearing dark glasses
A fading beauty as the night time passes... I say

Black cars look better in the shade
Black cars
Black cars look better in the shade
Black cars
Black cars look better in the
Black cars
Black cars look better in the shade
Shade

Gino Vannelli Black Cars Comments
  1. J.... D....

    Tenía 14 años en el año 1985 cuando la escuché por primera vez me encanta es un pelotazo

  2. L.... D....

    When I first heard it on the radio back in 1985, I thought that it poked fun at obsessive Knight Rider fans who actually bought their very own black Trans Am and spent a small fortune to make it look like KITT. 🤔

  3. m.... g....

    2:38 the masterpiece to this video.

    Actually quite dark video when one actually sees the Easter eggs.
    This song always gave me that warmth goosebumps however quite the underrated song;
    A song I'm sure people forgotten about in the 80's?

  4. C.... L....

    💜👍

  5. J.... B....

    De vuelta a los 80's ...
    Grandes recuerdos de mi juventud!!

  6. K.... ....

    My prog rock friends fall over themselves talking about Gino's first couple albums, from the mid 70's. So I like to annoy them by reminding of what he did AFTER those first couple records! lol

  7. D.... v....

    Cool track man! Awesome!

  8. J.... L....

    There was a pub in Dominican Republic named Drake's (the real pirate used to hang out there!) this song was played there non stop. It brings a flood of good memories.

  9. g.... ....

    There are exactly ZERO women in this video. It's hard to tell because of the lighting and the makeup. That's why he repeats " Black cars look better in the shade."

    g.... ....

    Specsavers

  10. D.... S....

    his suits kick ass

  11. t.... ....

    Honestly I was not expecting Justin Trudeau... or Antonio Banderas. :-P

  17. C.... A....

    Does he look like Antonio Banderas or am I crazy?

    C.... A....

    That's what I thought.

    C.... A....

    Your timeline is a real shit... Antonio Banderas came AFTER Gino...

  18. r.... e....

    vintage, wow

  19. S.... S....

    I bought this tune back then and turned into a single song 45 minute mix tape for the highway.
    This tune defines the sound of the 80's.
    Anyone else buy a replacement tape deck so they can still play their mix tapes at home?

  20. P.... R....

    It's not from a movie. It's from whatever the album was prior to "Wild Horses."
