lyrics
Across the street I see a friend
I say hello if I want to
With my ups and downs, smiles and frowns
My head’s stuck in a cloud
I’m gonna lose who I used to be
In the eyes of man - I am breaking up the band
In the hour of passion – Is it me I understand?
When the eagle clips its wing and hits the ground
Then either I will die or go around
Are we in the quest of who should get what’s better?
Cause we’re gonna get it right once and for all – ahh
Across the street I see a friend
I say hello ‘cause I want to
Coming closer, eye to eye
If you take it slow, we can open doors
In the eyes of man - I am changing all our plans
Something I oughtta do - Gotta get to who I am
When freedom clips its wing and hits the ground
Then either I will die or go around
Are we living it up so much I’ve lost what’s real?
Is there anyone here who wants to feel alive?
Broke and down I cry out loud
I can see my open shell
Warning signs showing me
How to free the pain in my heart
In the eyes of man - I am breaking up the band
In the hour of passion – Is it me I understand?
Only I can be the one to find a reason
And I’m gonna get it right once and for all
In the eyes of man – I cry out loud
In the eyes of man – My open shell
In the eyes of man – Showing me…
Can you see it too?

My head’s stuck in a cloud
I’m gonna lose who I used to be
In the eyes of man - I am breaking up the band

When the eagle clips its wing and hits the ground
Then either I will die or go around
Are we in the quest of who should get what’s better?
Cause we’re gonna get it right once and for all – ahh
Across the street I see a friend
I say hello ‘cause I want to

How to free the pain in my heart

In the hour of passion – Is it me I understand?
Only I can be the one to find a reason
And I’m gonna get it right once and for all
In the eyes of man – I cry out loud
In the eyes of man – My open shell
In the eyes of man – Showing me…

LAMINATE PET ANIMAL
by SNOWMINEThis is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal →
