Anderson Laurie My Eyes Lyrics

My Eyes Lyrics

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.
