Girl With The World In Her Eyes

Here i go! geronimo! vertigo to free fall

The girl sets my heart racing, but my engine is stalled

Now i pace myself 'cause i gotta stay in front man

Blast like an astronaut, crash like a stunt man

To worlds where witty boys get the pretty girls they merit

But she holds the saddle, the stick, the carrot

So i rise like degrees in july or fall faster

Luck is a lady, but i wouldn't put it past her

As she fills me with thrills like a roller coaster or slams me with amps

Like a bath with a toaster

Now my knees are shaking and i find my spine is gone

From holding up the pedestal that i've put her on

I should've studied science cause i tend to forget

That for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction

Well i must've slept through that one, cause now i'm on thin ice with

No traction





Chorus:

Is she thinking of you? no she just thought she knew me

But she's looking at you! no she's looking through me

And now i realize i've got no shape or size to the girl with the world in

Her eyes

So i keep bouncing





Shall i compare thee to a summer's day?

Or concede to morrissey that pretty girls make graves

I've shed the serpents skin and lost my head like ann boleyn

While rough winds do shake the darling buds of may

I ask you for this glance through vast expanse of thin veneers

Steered by butterfly eyes while drinking drinks of siren's tears

I fear the reaper cause it's hard like heavy metal

When the beasts that you beat off are handsome devils

Yet, the consequence of compliments

Is that i am graced with graces periodic like the elements

Her imminence influences subatomics

So i want to do her right

Like shakespeare does a sonnet

I'm on it. harrassed by bees in bonnets

Slave to her affection like gramps to gin and tonics

Loyal to my master like a pack of pekinese

While i try to hold my place with weakened knees





Chorus:

Is she thinking of you? no she just thought she knew me

But she's looking at you! no she's looking through me

And now i realize i've got no shape or size to the girl with the world in

Her eyes

So i keep bouncing





Maybe i should call you up so we can spend some time together

Take a walk or have some dinner, i don't care i'll do whatever

My heart shivers every single time i get a busy signal can i get an

Operator?

So you know if she said bounce with me, i'd bounce with her

Cause every minute that i'm in it counts with her

There's only one sin i wouldn't renounce for her

And if she gave me half a glance then i would counsel her

That she should bounce with me, so i can bounce with her

Cause every minute that i'm in it really counts with her

There's only one sin i wouldn't renounce for her

But do i have a chance!





Chorus:

Is she thinking of you? no she just thought she knew me

But she's looking at you! no she's looking through me

And now i realize i've got no shape or size to the girl with the world in

Her eyes

So i keep bouncing



Yeah, she's got the world in her eyes
