Billions of Eyes - Lady Lamb

Ta da da da

When gravity’s a palm pushing down on your head

Like the devil’s got a paw dug in your shoulder

And the other one is rubbing your back

But the kitchen in this new place has a window

Yeah, you can grow basil on the sill

Maybe, you can call your neighbours by name now

Ta da da da

Berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living

Still this feels like eating the meat of the mountain

It’s all grit and gristle I can’t chew and swallow

I’m gnawing my way back home

The clouds are look a lot like wool gone through the washer

I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch

Yeah, i’m confused about how

I’m supposed to connect to anything now

Ta da da da da da da da da da da da

Ta da da da da da da da

Ta da da da

The kind of high I like is when I barely make the train

And the people with a seat smile big at me

Because they know the feelin'

And for a millisecond we share a look like a family does

Like we have inside jokes

Like we could call each other by little nicknames

And I could tell the story of how

My great grandmother’s sister was deemed a saint

How they exhumed her body after years of being buried

And they found she hadn’t even begun' to sully

So they moved her again, straight into the Vatican

I think of all the billions of eyes

All looking at something different at the same time

And I feel nauseous

Some days I can only see into my suitcase

It’s got everything I need

Plus some superstitious things I may also need

«Music soothes the savage beast»

The pilot says to me, and he asks me to sing

But now is not the time

I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry

I just wanna keep very very quiet.

Yeah

It’s June where you sleep, July where I land

Thought I saw you on the platform in Amsterdam

And I nearly missed my train

And I felt so defeated 'til I jumped on to see

All the warm smiles were for me yeah

I made my train and it made me so happy

I made my train and it made me forget everything

It made me forget, made me forget, made me forget

Made me forget everything

It made me forget, made me forget, made me forget

Made me forget everything
