Why Don't They Leave Things Alone? - Blancmange

I can see it as you are

And I can see it in your eyes

And I can see it as you are

And I can see it in your eyes

The floodgates are now open

And the lonely truth will flow out

Why can’t they leave things as they are

Why can’t they leave things alone

I heard a friend drift by my window

I saw a gun blow him away

And I can see it in your hand

And I can see it in your eyes

Why can’t we leave things as they are

Why don’t they leave things alone

Why can’t we leave things as they are

Why don’t they leave things alone

Always, we see rivers and fences

Always, we see beautiful mountains

And I can see it as you are

And I can see it in your eyes

Why don’t they leave things as they are

Why can’t we leave things alone

Why don’t they leave things as they are

Why can’t we leave things alone

And I can see it

Why don’t they leave things as they are

And I can see it

Why can’t we leave things alone
