Girl With The World In Her Eyes

Girl With The World In Her Eyes

Here I go! Geronimo! Vertigo to free fall

The girl sets my heart racing, but my engine is stalled

Now I pace myself 'cause I gotta stay in front man

Blast like an astronaut, crash like a stunt man

To worlds where witty boys get the pretty girls they merit

But she holds the saddle, the stick, the carrot

So I rise like degrees in July or fall faster

Luck is a lady, but I wouldn't put it past her

As she fills me with thrills like a roller coaster Or slams mewith amps

like a bath with a toaster

Now my knees are shaking and I find my spine is gone

From holding up the pedestal that I've put her on

I should've studied science cause I tend to forget

That for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction

I guess I must've slept through that one, cause now I'm on thinice with

no traction

CHORUS:

Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me

But she's looking at you! No she's looking through me

And now I realize I've got no shape or size to the girl with theworld in

her eyes

So I keep bouncing

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Or concede to Morrissey that pretty girls make graves

I've shed the serpents skin and lost my head like Ann Boleyn

While rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

I ask you for this glance through vast expanse of thin veneers

Steered by butterfly eyes while drinking drinks of siren'stears

I fear the reaper cause it's hard like heavy metal

When the beasts that you beat off are handsome devils

Yet, the consequence of compliments

Is that I am graced with graces periodic like the elements

Her imminence influences subatomics

So I want to do her right

Like Shakespeare does a sonnet

I'm on it. Harrassed by bees in bonnets

Slave to her affection like gramps to gin and tonics

Loyal to my master like a pack of Pekinese

While I try to hold my place with weakened knees

CHORUS:

Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me

But she's looking at you! No she's looking through me

And now I realize I've got no shape or size to the girl with theworld in

her eyes

So I keep bouncing

Maybe I should call you up so we can spend some time together

Take a walk or have some dinner, I don't care I'll do whatever

My heart shivers every single time I get a busy signal Can I getan

operator?

So you know if she said bounce with me, I'd bounce with her

Cause every minute that I'm in it counts with her

There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her

And if she gave me half a glance then I would counsel her

That she should bounce with me, so I can bounce with her

Cause every minute that I'm in it really counts with her

There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her

But do I have a chance!

CHORUS:

Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me

But she's looking at you! No she's looking through me

And now I realize I've got no shape or size to the girl with theworld in

her eyes

So I keep bouncing

Yeah, she's got the world in her eyes
