The Girl with X-Ray Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tried to hang on to myself

Don't believe in no-one else

And I'm shakin' like a leaf

As I fall into the street

[Pre-Chorus]

But the girl with X-Ray eyes

She's gonna see through my disguise

[Verse 2]

Going nowhere down a hill

It's 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

[Chorus]

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

When the deed was done

In the morning she was gone

[Verse 3]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But the girl with X-Ray eyes

She's gonna see through your disguise

[Chorus]

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 the gun

When the deed was done

In the morning she was gone
