[Verse 1]
Give me something to help me pass the time
A shallow effort to wade through what seems eternity
I don't mind

Giving up if it means I can unwind
To find out I am trapped inside
Who I shouldn't be, ah-ah-ah

I'll give you something if you return in kind
A subtle dose of nothing more than
Complacency, you may find

[Chorus]
I see an eagle in a tailored suit
There's nothing quite like its point of view
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes
A life, unlived, shadowed by disguise

[Verse 2]
We are all just waiting in a line
Forming thoughts we think would never occur to them, ah-ah-ah
But we could never fully satisfy
Our endless need to know it doesn't occur to us
Ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]
I see an eagle in a tailored suit
There's nothing quite like its point of view
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes
A life, unlived, shadowed by dis-

[Outro]
Eagle in a paradise
It comes, it goes, it already knows
Your life, has it passed you by?
It came, it went, now you're in a hole
