For Your Eyes

Sun don’t shine upon this town
No way through the sulphur cloud
They pack us in, but there’s no space
And there’s no way out of this place
Too much time, nowhere to hide
Spend my days walking around
All alone in a lonely town
I can’t tell day from night
I can’t tell wrong from right
I can’t laugh, but I can’t cry
For your eyes, for your eyes
Past the faces, red and blue
With their cans of Special Brew
Drink their way out of this
Chance worth less than a hooker’s kiss
Someone calls, but I walk by
Lifts don’t work, take the stairs
Smells of piss, everywhere
Turn the locks on my door
Another night in with a ten pound draw
I can’t laugh, but I can’t cry
For your eyes, for your eyes
People standing all around
Someone’s gone and hit the ground
Old guy up in 108
Taken all that he could take
No one looks, too surprised
Lived alone, you could tell
No one knew him very well
Seemed quite nice, someone said
Seemed all right, now he’s dead
I can’t laugh, but I can’t cry
For your eyes, for your eyes
For your eyes, for your eyes
But it ain’t right
