lyrics

Verse 1
Highway driving, going no where, realizing that it’s
Well it’s all over now
Fancy cars and sketchy bars you’d never know at first but
You can float or can drown

Planes are flying, skylights shining, buildings so high that they,
Steal the sunbeams’ space
And they’re always towering, making shadows, catching eyes it makes this
Little church look out of place

Chorus
The city has eyes, she could bring us to our knees
The city has eyes, if we only knew the things she’s seen

The things she’s se-en, se-en. The things she’s se-en, se-en.

Verse 3
Everyday, yes every moment there are people who are
They’re just passing me by
Business women, old men gambling, all these individuals
Each with a name, with a lie

Fowl words and a poker game, an artist’s secret search for fame
We drive the roads we know so well,
Live at night and sleep all day, travelling from place to place
Losing earring at hotels.

Chorus
The city has eyes, she could bring us to our knees.
Oh yeah, the city has eyes, if we only knew the things she’s seen

Bridge
No one knows, yeah no one knows
But the one who sees it all.
No one knows, yeah no one knows
But the eyes that watch you fall. x2

Chorus
The city has eyes, she could bring us to our knees.
Oh yeah, the city has eyes, if we only knew the things she’s seen

The things she’s se-en, se-en. The things she’s se-en, se-en. x2
