Peter Allen – Looking Thru The Eye Lyrics
Artist: Peter Allen
Song: Looking Thru The Eye
There’s a star on every highway
There’s a name on every street
But the roads don’t travel my way
And the corners never meet
Frozen smiles on all the faces
Wooden hands that shake my own
All the broken promise keepers
Love me till I’m all alone
People get along with nothing
Copper pennies, make them smile
They learn to dance to any music
Dancing’s not my style
But must I be the audience
To everything I see?
Life is just a hurricane
And looking through the eye is me
In around and all about me
I hear laughter through the smoke
When was I disqualified?
Funny, I don’t get the joke
Everything I want I get
As long as it won’t bring me joy
The sum of my desires
Is the value of a broken toy
People drink the wine of friendship
People eat the bread of love
Life is sticking in my throat
And dust is what it tastes of
Why must I be the audience
To everything I see?
Life is just a hurricane
And looking through the eye is me
Like a swan upon a mirror
My reflection doesn’t change
I don’t know how to make a ripple
And even I can see I’m strange
Everybody’s is doing battle
Protected by a cross or a star
Is it easier to think
That you know who you are?
Can I drink the wine of friendship?
Can I eat the bread of love?
Life is sticking in my throat
And dust is what it tastes of
Why must I be the audience
To everything I see?
Life is just a hurricane
And looking through the eye is me…
