Eye Among the Blind - Black Cobra

Everything is quiet since you're not around And I live in the numbness now In the background I do the things we did before I walk Haight Street to the store And they say where's that crazy girl You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more I don't see you anymore since the hospital The plans I make still have you in them Cause you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel for you I only know because I carry you around In the background I'm in the background Words they come and memories all repeat I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets And I would never lie to you no I would never lie to you no I felt you long after we were through, we were through The plans I make still have you in them Cause you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel for you I only know because I carry you around In the background Cause I felt you long after we were through Well you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel to you I only know because I'm way I'm way in the background I'm in the background

When success is on your mind But true direction is missing You know the Gods have lied but you're still smitten By the stars in your eyes I can tell you know where you are Smile sweetly and you'll be forgiven You're almost free, almost free to come and go Bed setting room for ambitious prisoner Walk away, don't take no for an answer Turn a blind eye to it all Let sleeping dogs lie Down in Queensway Like a bulldozer chasing butterflies Down sad English streets you wander Over sleeping bodies you step lightly All the snow on the ground Lets you pass by without a sound One last look before you disappear Walk away, don't take no for an answer Turn a blind eye to it all Let sleeping dogs lie Down in Queensway Walk away, don't take no for an answer Turn a blind eye to it all Let sleeping dogs lie Down in Queensway

The rise and fall of my sloppy love The smatterings, and splatterings They'll get you I'm not the one you were thinking of Maybe you thought I'd call Instead of crashing down your hall Hold me down, I wanna find out You know you will never get what you need Blue Diamond strike 'em anywhere First we caffeinate then incinerate We'll get you And sparks will fly in the summer air Did you pull out of your stall Maybe I'll see you after all Hold me down, I wanna find out We say no, cause I live my life like a burning man Like a burning man, a burning man Like a burning man And I won't get enough until my legs are broken The stars they shine in an empty void Life is not to fear, life is to enjoy He'll get you Oh, Mr. Death catches all someday Baby I thought you'd call Or leave a light on in the hall Hold me down but I'll find out We say no, cause I live my life like a burning man Like a burning man, a burning man Like a burning man Hold me down, I wanna find out We say no, cause I live my life like a burning man Like a burning man, a burning man Like a burning man And I won't get enough, until my legs are broken

The police high beams froze her perfect face In white glow for a while The politburo's on high alert And her name showed up on file There's trouble with their war effort And she's been speaking out Checkpoint Charlie's radioed in She's compromised in doubt There's trouble with their war effort and she's crossed the party line You were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind You were so pretty oh And you were so pretty oh oh Well I don't know...
