Description
A pop track with an indie feel to it, this song explores the question: if a cities and towns had the ability to see everything that went on within them, what could they tell us about ourselves? What could they reveal about the lives we live when we think no one is watching?
Lyrics
Verse 1 Highway driving, going no where, realizing that it’s Well it’s all over now Fancy cars and sketchy bars you’d never know at first but You can float or can drown Planes are flying, skylights shining, buildings so high that they, Steal the sunbeams’ space And they’re always towering, making shadows, catching eyes it makes this Little church look out of place Chorus The city has eyes, she could bring us to our knees The city has eyes, if we only knew the things she’s seen The things she’s se-en, se-en. The things she’s se-en, se-en. Verse 3 Everyday, yes every moment there are people who are They’re just passing me by Business women, old men gambling, all these individuals Each with a name, with a lie Foul words and a poker game, an artist’s secret search for fame We drive the roads we know so well, Live at night and sleep all day, travelling from place to place Losing earring at hotels. Chorus The city has eyes, she could bring us to our knees. Oh yeah, the city has eyes, if we only knew the things she’s seen Bridge No one knows, yeah no one knows But the one who sees it all. No one knows, yeah no one knows But the eyes that watch you fall. x2 Chorus The city has eyes, she could bring us to our knees. Oh yeah, the city has eyes, if we only knew the things she’s seen The things she’s se-en, se-en. The things she’s se-en, se-en. x2
