Chasing Yesterday
BackThe Girl With X-Ray Eyes
I try to hang on to myself I don't believe in no-one else.
And I'm shaking like a leaf as I fall into the street.
But the girl with X-ray eyes, she's gonna see through my disguise.
Going nowhere down a hill is hard to swallow like the pill.
That was twisted on your tongue by the sea that was standing still.
There was no-one to be seen, no-one left to hear my scream.
So she took me by the hand, we followed clues left in the sand.
As she swallowed space and time we gathered pearls and swine.
She shot me to the sun like a bullet from a gun.
And when the deed was done in the morning she was gone.
Turn the page and let it go like your mother told you so.
Life it stretches out for miles, the truth is on your stereo.
But the girl with X-ray eyes, she's gonna see through your disguise.
