Brain (Watching Your Eyes) - Once and Future Band

Everyone knows ‘cept yourrself that these phases are fleeting

Time to take stock

And face up to the path life is leading

Watching your eyes with your eyes

And seeing through death’s disguise

Every awake finds the wake of the black water breaking

Watching your eyes with your eyes

And seeing through beauty’s disguise

Life is a game

When you win you begin to start losing

You fight to get by

To grow old

And then die alone with nothing

But watching my eyes with my eyes

Seeing through death’s disguise

Photographs end

And here come your friends

In the abyss you feel tenderly kissed and unaching

And there’s no appeal to seek out the next one to forsake you

‘cept when i watch your eyes

And see through your lies

Love is a game

When you win you begin to start losing

And all that remains

Is an old set of plans that’s abandoned

Reel turns around and I play the clown

Get out my life and let me be

Leave me free to leave me free

Looking ahead with no backward glances
