My Stripes

Oh I've been contained But there's a power to be set free My love Won't you just look in my eyes See what lies behind the mirror of A modern life don't suit my My stripes I've been waiting laying dormant for Of this chain to let me go In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes My spirit used to tiptoe, oh Look in my eyes See what lies behind the mirror you Look in my eyes See a light that shines a different hue In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes You look in my eye What do you find but a stranger staying there Breathing, more alive Than any life without danger laying there You look in my eye What do you find but a stranger staying there Breathing, I'm more alive And by your look you see danger laying here You might be the first man down You didn't see a queen, but you do right now And I'm free to wear my heathen crown I feel the power I've been saving, waiting so long You might be the first man down You didn't see a queen, but you do right now And I'm free to wear my heathen crown I feel the power I've been saving, waiting so long Waiting so long In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes
