Patti Smith - Glitter in Their Eyes lyrics

rate me

It's been a while since I've seen your face

It's been a while since I've walked this place

I see the monkeys riding on their bikes

Racing through the impossible night

You say you're feeling like a new tree

Man they'll cut you from limb to limb

Pick your pocket with such delight

Shake it to the right

Shake it in the light

Oh can't you see the glitter

The glitter in their eyes

Oh can't you see the glitter

The glitter in their eyes

Genius stalking in new shoes

Have you got wto blues

Dust of diamonds

Making you sneeze

Kids on rollers ready for

Running through the junkyards

Breezing through the halls

Racing through the malls

Walking through the walls

They'll strip your mind

Just for fun

Quoth the raven

Yum yum yum

Children children everywhere

Selling souls for souvenirs

They've been sold out like as not

Just for chunks of ankgor vat

They'll trade you up

Trade you down

Your body a commodity

Our sacred stage

Has been defaced

Replaced to grace

The marketplace

Dow is jonesing at the bit

42nd disney street

Ragged hearts unraveling

Look out kids

The gleam the gleam

All that glitters

Is not all that glitters

Is not all that glitters
