  • Looking out my narrow window I'll tell you what I see
    The pit bulls are on the streets, they're closing in on me
    Could it be this paranoia keeping me intact?
    Lock the door and load my gun, this time I'm fighting back

    So take a look across your desk, you tell me why I'm here
    You've been making all that money preying on the fear
    I can see your demon eyes, the target has been set
    Take a shot for old times sake, you've done no damage yet

    The way you smile all the time, crooked badge, you're spitting lies
    I'm alone in my home, my only friend

    I tried to look you in the eye, I tried to tell you I'm alive
    I tried, I tried to tell you
    When there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
    I'm terrified what I might find what you hide behind those demon eyes

    Why'd you take the time your taking to under mind my name?
    Does it help you sleep at night to play that righteous game?
    Why'd you say those things you said, words that you don't mean?
    Two faces telling lies, telling lies to me

    The way you smile all the time, crooked badge, you're spitting lies
    I'm alone in my home, you'll bury me

    I tried to look you in the eye, I tried to tell you I'm alive
    I tried, I tried to tell you that
    When there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
    I'm so terrified what I might find what you hide behind those demon eyes

    You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
    You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
    You love, you love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
    You love, you love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive

    You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
    You've got the demon eyes
    You love to look me in the eye to tell me you're alive
    You've got the demon eyes

    You gotta know I tried, you gotta know why
    I tried, I tried to look you in the eye and tell you I'm alive
    I tried, I tried to tell you
    When there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
    Still terrified what I might find what you hide behind those demon eyes Writer/s: Cormac Neeson, James Heatley, Michael Waters, Paul Mahon
