When My Eyes

[Intro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]

Waitress on skates in training

They dart to call it dreamin'

Images present themselves to me

Seeds are ripe for reapin'

I continue sleepin'

You're everything you ever wanted to be, yeah

And nothin' here is changin'

No messy rearrangin'

'Cause every set of ficus stays the same

Sinatra's always singin'

And you do all the clingin'

And someone else accepts my place

[Chorus]

Whatever my imagination throws

So rugged, growin' rose

When my eyes do close

When my eyes do close

When they close

[Verse 2]

Turn and face my ceilin'

Deep in all the feelin'

Inhibitions turn to dust and fly away

Stop my eyelids flickerin'

With your petty bickerin'

But this time, I say what I got to say

I hear my girl Dinah's playin'

And a tree's branches start swayin'

Run over and sit right by the roof

And I see the leaves are growin'

Little birds are showin'

Reach out a hand and bite into the fruit

[Chorus]

Whatever my imagination throws

So rugged, growin' rose

When my eyes do close

When my eyes do close

When they close

[Bridge]

Nothin' such a scrutiny (Nothin' such a scrutiny)

Avoidin' all the mutiny

You are lovin', beautifully

And it's fragrant beautifully

Colourful and monochrome

Amy Winehouse alone

Far away from ringin' phone at home

I turn to stone, turn to stone

And all the thoughts are static

Yeah, my singin' is automatic

And I wish that I could sell it

And my every urge, you tell her

'Cause I can sense no danger

I am the lone ranger through the desert in a yellow caddy

With a black-haired, blue-eyed stranger

[Verse 3]

White dress outside dryin'

I've been a fear for flyin'

I overtake Montgomery in skills, yeah

Never been more darin'

Kitten heels I'm wearin'

Reality, a blow that sometimes kills

And when I drop it lyrically

Worlds evolve generically

And I don't ever need to collapse in tears

And I could curse your timin'

Thunderously mimin'

And I feel young beyond my years

[Chorus]

Whatever my imagination throws

So rugged, growin' rose

When my eyes do close

When my eyes do close

When they close
