Eyes on the Horizon Songtext
von Brendan Benson

Well I′m convinced that underneath that black hair
There's a listening device planted there
And there′s a man who follows me everywhere
And I shouldn't care (And I shouldn't care)

I sit and watch as the world takes shape
In streaks of color and fields of rage
Until the lions are burned at the stake
It′s a choice that we all have to make (We all have to make)
It′s a choice that I'll have to make (That I′ll have to make)

Eyes on the horizon (Eyes on the horizon)
The sky is so blinding (The sky is so blinding)
And it's not so surprising (And it′s not so surprising)
That it's nowhere (That it′s nowhere)
But you're so happy to be there

Whatever happened to the boy next door?
We never see him around anymore
I heard he drowned and washed up on the shore
Or maybe somebody evened the score
Or maybe somebody scored


I found a tracking device in my shoe
Isn't there something that someone can do
I trust no one, especially you
You told them everything that you knew (Everything that you knew)
You told them all that you knew (You told them all that you knew)

Eyes on the horizon (Eyes on the horizon)
The sun is so blinding (The sun is so blinding)
And it′s not so surprising (And it′s not so surprising)
That it's nowhere (That it′s nowhere)
But you're so happy to be there
Oh!

Here I am and it′s nowhere again
And your eye's on me and your hand is a pen
And you′re writing it down but you don't have an end
It's so good to be here with my old and familiar friend
Nowhere

Well I′m convinced that underneath that blond hair
There′s a listening device planted there
And there's a man who follows us everywhere
And we shouldn′t care (No, We shouldn't care)
No, we shouldn′t care (No, We shouldn't care)


Eyes on the horizon (Eyes on the horizon)
And it′s only thunder and lightning
(And it's so very frightening)
And again you're surmising (And again you′re surmising)
That it′s nowhere (That it's nowhere)
Ooh, but you′re still happy to be there
Oh, oh, nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
You told them all that you knew
I found a tracking device in my shoe
Isn't there something that someone can do
I trust no one, especially you
You told them all that you knew
Nowhere
