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 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 loo kin 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.
