Richard Hell and the Voidoids
Staring in Her Eyes
I used to lie in my room and just stare
Frustrated eyes flipping pages of air
And gaze after gaze, I could see nothing there

I was just a flaw in the scheme
Of everything but nightmarish dreams

No one could stand feeling that way for long
So I, I chose to regard all the world as the wrong
And to, and to make my own long assertions in song

I decided I just didn't care
That I'd look, and I could see nothing there
But now
But now, but now, but now

I lie there staring in her eyes
I lie there staring in her eyes
I watch her be
The sight I wanted so much to see

[Guitar Solo]

Oh, let me tell you about a pleasure I've found
First you surrender and stop looking around
And then you get the one who you wanna lie down
And stare like a corpse in each's eyes
'Til you never want to come alive and rise
And then
And then, but now, but now

I lie there staring in her eyes
I lie there staring in her eyes
I watch her be
The sight I wanted so much to see
