Black Shades Over Red Eyes

(album: Spitting Image - 2017)

Gillian I think it's alright
Even though everybody is trying to stay in flavor
We idolise those guys with six packs and pearly whites
'Cause they've got more followers than your Lord and Saviour
Gillian I think it's okay
That nobody's got it figured out
We drive ourselves insane trying to make it rain
When the sunshine is what we're all about

Yeah we just need to settle
But no need to settle down
We got time to make rays and mess around
Yeah we're all cruel creatures
But there's proof among the preachers
That the truth will come and meet us one day

No lie
I'm good with muddy and a blue sky
Yeah, the future's bright
Even with black shades over red eyes

They only ever got the cliff notes
You wanna hang on every line
But there's a world out there you've get to know
That's full of hopes and Romeo's
Bad manners and good times
And I see the fear on the street below
Wishing that we'd jump into the lifestyle
But there's no problem with cruising along
If we all pack sparks and a nice smile

We just need to settle
We're not settled for less
As we're driving in the bottles of happiness
I said we're all cruel creatures
But there's proof among the preachers
That the truth will come and meet us one day

No lie
I'm good with muddy and a blue sky
Oh yeah, the future's bright
Even with black shades over red eyes

No lie
I'm good with muddy and a blue sky
Yeah, the future's bright
Black shades over red eyes

No lie
I'm good with muddy and a blue sky
Oh yeah, the future's bright
With black shades over red eyes
With black shades over red eyes
With black shades over red eyes
With black shades over red eyes
