Lyrics

My Eyes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 come 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 lookin 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 fame

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 here it is: the enormous night

And oo my eyes

They're lookin 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.
