Paroles Eyes Wide de Levellers (The)

Textes et Paroles de Eyes Wide

You write and you write but it's never been read'cos the words on the paper aren't the ones in your headWhatever you're thinking, whatever you're dreamingYou can't mould something that's never been seenThe words from your mouth aren't the ones when you drinkThe words you're so sure of from which you may shrinkYou speak the magic with your heart and your soulThe words you were born with the ones that you knowEyes wide, hand tied,Hard drive, rewired,Books ripped, and thrown into the nightYou read what they say although it's written in red'cos the quotes in the papers never were saidThe words you believe are the ones you've been soldCome hear a story that's never been toldThere once was a man who thought that he knewFought for his country, red, white and blueNow he's lying in a foreign fieldHis words are forgotten and he's tagged by his heels[vox pops]You wake in the morning with words in your headYou should have been working you're drinking insteadYou sleep in the evening the sleep of the deadAn empty promise never keptYou can run and run but you'll bever hide'cos the words you run from are the ones insideYou have to listen you have to thinkYou can see oblivion when you're stood on the brinkEyes wide, hand tied,Hard drive, rewired,Books ripped, and thrown into the night
