Naked Eye (Live at the Young Vic, London, 26th April 1971)

[Verse 1]

Take a little dope

And walk out in the air

The stars are all connected to the brain

Find me a woman

And lay down on the ground

Her pleasure comes falling down like rain

Get myself a car

I feel power as I fly

Oh, now I'm really in control

[Chorus]

It all looks fine to the naked eye

But it don't really happen that way at all

Don't happen that way at all

[Verse 2]

You sign your own name

And I sign mine

They're both the same, we still get separate rooms

Cover up your guts

But when you cover up your nuts

You're admitting that there must be something wrong

Press any button

Milk and honey flow

The world begins behind your neighbor's wall

[Chorus]

It all looks fine to the naked eye

But it don't really happen that way at all

Don't happen that way at all

[Interlude]

Let her go

It happened that way

[Verse 3]

You hold the gun

And I hold the wound

And we stand looking in each other's eyes

Both think we know what's right

Both know we know what's wrong

We tell ourselves so many, many, many lies

[Chorus]

It all looks fine to the naked eye

But it don't really happen that way at all

Don't happen that way at all

[Outro]
