Black & White Eyes

Listen if you want to, I really don't care anymore
You and I just can't seem to click
I could write you melodies of fantastical lore
But to you, it wouldn't seem to stick

So taunt with a Russian accent
All the girly-girls
We could talk about their trashy makeup
And their fake plastic pearls

Then you could play me a depressing song
One that's twelve minutes long

And your eyes have somewhat of a colorless shine
You think men drink them like a glass of wine, you know
Is that why you're here
But you're not, as you might think, a peculiar bird
I am what you wish you were
Times ten
And around again

But here's something you never quite knew
I can read people as well as you lie
And you're dishonest, yes girl it's true
I can see right through your black and white eyes

Listen if you want to, it's a free country, after all
There is no pre-destined map of life
You consider yourself as free as a waterfall
No no no, you're nobody's wife

Well, except for a week ago
When he kissed you and turned to go

And despite all the hugs and confessions
You don't feel the feelings I hide
And despite all my recent concessions
You play with my bad side

Well, no wonder you have no friends
You drive them around the bends

And your eyes have somewhat of a colorless glow
You think you can cut through me just like snow, you know,
You disown your father
But don't come to me after an attack
And preach to me the Gospel of Mack
You know, just add some water

But here's something you'd never quite know
I can read people as well as you lie
And you're dishonest, woman it shows
I can see right through your black and white eyes

Listen if you want to
