Eyes Of The World - The Finn Brothers

You’re nothing in the eyes of the world

But you’re riding up and down in the elevator still

Feeling just a little surprised

Like you discovered Englebert Humperdink or something

Inside the fairy light

It’s often hard to tell

The way you see yourself

Will lead you to despair

The eyes of the world will look right through your scene

It’s nothing new to me, that’s what I used to be Someone in the eyes of the world

You look into the eyes of the world

Hoping to catch your reflection again

Missing all the real life action

So calm and dignified you rise up from the chair

Put the powder on and climb the slippery stairs

Inside a sleazy room with a bible for companion

Bleeding fingernail, you’ll never know yourself

The eyes of the world they look right through you

You’re nothing in the eyes of the world

The hint of a smile appears on your face

When you realise there’s nothing

In the eyes of the world
