Eyes on the Horizon Lyrics
Well I'm convinced that underneath that black hair
There’s a listening device planted there
And there's a man who follows me everywhere
And I shouldn't care
I sit and watch as the world takes shape
In streaks of color and fields of rain
Until the lions are burned at the stake
It’s a choice that we all have to make
It’s a choice that I'll have to make
Eyes on the horizon
The sky is so blinding
And it's not so surprising that it's nowhere
But you're so happy to be there
Whatever happened to the boy next door
We never see him around anymore
I heard he drowned and washed up on the shore
Or maybe somebody evened the score
Or maybe somebody scored
I found a tracking device in my shore
Isn’t there something that someone can do
I trust no one and especially you
You told them everything that you knew
You told them all that you knew
Eyes on the horizon
The sun is so blinding
And it's not so surprising that it's nowhere
But you're so happy to be there
Here I am and it's nowhere again
And your eyes on me and your hand is a pen
And you’re writing it down but you don’t have an end
It’s so good to be here with my old and familiar friend
Well I'm convinced that underneath that blond hair
There’s a listening device planted there
And there's a man who follows us everywhere
And we shouldn't care
No we shouldn't care
Eyes on the horizon
It’s only thunder and lightening
And it's so very frightening
And again you're surmising
That it’s nowhere
But you're still happy to be there
Nowhere
(Repeat)
There’s a listening device planted there
And there's a man who follows me everywhere
And I shouldn't care
I sit and watch as the world takes shape
In streaks of color and fields of rain
Until the lions are burned at the stake
It’s a choice that we all have to make
It’s a choice that I'll have to make
The sky is so blinding
And it's not so surprising that it's nowhere
But you're so happy to be there
We never see him around anymore
I heard he drowned and washed up on the shore
Or maybe somebody evened the score
Or maybe somebody scored
Isn’t there something that someone can do
I trust no one and especially you
You told them everything that you knew
You told them all that you knew
The sun is so blinding
And it's not so surprising that it's nowhere
But you're so happy to be there
And your eyes on me and your hand is a pen
And you’re writing it down but you don’t have an end
It’s so good to be here with my old and familiar friend
There’s a listening device planted there
And there's a man who follows us everywhere
And we shouldn't care
No we shouldn't care
It’s only thunder and lightening
And it's so very frightening
And again you're surmising
That it’s nowhere
But you're still happy to be there
(Repeat)
