"My Eyes" lyrics
"My Eyes"
Sometimes I wish I hadn't gotten that tattoo
Sometimes I wish I'd married you
One hundred fires, one hundred days
Sometimes I feel like a stranger
Sometimes I tell lies (Whoa ho)
Sometimes I act like a monkey
Here comes the night
And then kerjillions of stars start to shine
And icy comets go whizzing by
And everything's shaking with a strange delight
And here it is: the enormous night
And oo my eyes; they're looking all around
And oo my feet; I'm upside down
If I were the president
If I were Queen for a day
I'd give the ugly people all the money
I'd re-write the Book of Love
I'd make it funny
Wheel of fortune, wheel of fate
Two hundred forty million voices
Two hundred forty million names
And down in the ocean where nobody goes
Some fish are fast
Some are slow
Some swim round the world
Some hide below
This is the ocean
So deep, so old
And then kerjillions of stars start to shine
And icy comets go whizzing by
And everything's shaking with a strange delight
And this is it: the enormous night
And oo my eyes; they're looking all around
And oo my feet; they've left the ground
So cry me a river that leads to a road
That turns into a highway that goes and goes
And tangles in your memories
So long, so old

And I have lived alone
I live on an island
And I waken to the dawn
A long time ago
I watched him struggle with the sea
I knew that he was drowning
And I brought him into me
Now...
Jessica Pratt - "Life Is" Life is, it's never what you think it's for
And I can't seem to set it off
And lately I've been insecure
The chances of a lifetime might be hiding their tricks up my sleeve
Used to be the greatest...
The Roches - "Face Down At Folk City" Face down at Folk City
When you came in here your were looking so pretty
With your Dracula cape and your bat what a pity
Now you're face down at Folk City

Sinead O'Connor - "I Am Stretched On Your Grave" I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine

My apple tree my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am...
