Stuntman

Does it not say "I see the white of YOUR eyes, I'm a stuntman" ??

There seems to be several mistakes, unless I hear it completely wrong.

"He has tuned into the other side" or "We got tuned into the other side"

"Lives spent digging holes to the ones you hide" also sounds more correct than "For the ones that hide". To me at least.

As for the "See the white of my/your eyes" lyric, this seems to be the most difficult one to figure out. Having the same issues on Kasabians forum! I think it sounds either like "Your" or even perhaps "See the widened eyes" which could also make sense here.

Also, at the end he says 'shake it, shake it' Then he slurs 'you wanna shake tonight'.

Its LAWMAN retards.... he is reasurring the girl he loves that, even though a (corrupt cops possibly) dangerous person is after him and he is doing dangerous shit she neednt worry cause hes a "stuntman" meaning he knows what hes doing

"I wish I could/See the white of your eyes." Did you ever hear that old saying, "Don't shoot until you can see the whites of their eyes"? On this whole album ("Empire"), shooting is used as a metaphor for love/sex ("Shoot the Runner," or in "Me Plus One" - "Should've shot myself on the run.") So I'm reading it that the "stuntman" can't "shoot" the person whose eyes he can't see. Makes about as much sense as anything...

I might have to change my mind about the "My / Your" eyes part. On my CD Cover sleeve, it has some handwritten text that says "See the whites of my eyes".

I agree with dleggett, I've been listening to the song trying to get the lyrics. but about the my/your bit, it definately sounds like 'your' in the song at least, in some parts it sounds like he's saying "I see the whites of your eyes and I'm a stuntman" so that makes me think that's what it is.. also someplace I read "cause he's on his knees in fear' instead of he's arming me for fear.. which I think sounds better but I have no idea which is right hahah. very awesome song anyway, I love it. really intense & dancy..

amazing band...amazing song... amazing intro but I have no clue what it mean

What are the last words being uttered right at the end of thi song? it sounds like "...they're gonna check tonight..." being repeated over again.

This is one of my favorite tracks off of Empire. I always thought he was saying "See the watering eyes". It makes partial sense. But now I'm listening to it more closely, and I'm not quite sure...
