My my shifty eyes
My my shifty eyes
Saw you in a gated city,
foul mouth, a face so pretty
waiting through a cold July
Caught a flight and headed west
ticker pounding out my chest
to see what trouble I could find
Father's falling off the wagon,
friends all gone, the time's a' dragging,
you can't tell the real from lies
Rollercoaster photograph
I bought it just to hear the laugh
behind your shifty eyes
My my shifty eyes
took my by surprise
I don't think I ever want to sleep tonight
Oh my shifty eyes
Couple stuff, I know it's scary
Say your prayers to Mother Mary
What are you going to dream about tonight?
Keep on hoping, keep on trying
I'll wipe away the tears you're crying
out your shifty eyes
My my shifty eyes
took my by surprise
I don't think I ever want to sleep tonight
Oh my shifty eyes
My my shifty eyes
cut me down to size
I didn't think I'd ever find a love so right
Oh my shifty eyes
Someday you'll be proud of me
Gotta say you look so lovely
Just stay
Stay with me here tonight
Sun is up, the moon is set
How about one more cigarette
and then let's go inside
No more tricks and no more lies
I'm drunk on just your shifty eyes
I'll cancel every show I swear
I'll quit my stupid job who cares
Come back home w'ell both be scared
(Hey)
My my shifty eyes
took my by surprise
I don't think I ever want to sleep tonight
Oh my shifty eyes
My my shifty eyes
cut me down to size
I didn't think I'd ever find a love so right
Oh my shifty eyes
