Eyes On The Horizon Lyrics - My Old Familiar Friend - Brendan Benson

Well, I'm convinced that underneath that black hair 

There's a listening device planted there 

And there's a man who follows me everywhere 

And I shouldn't care 

I sit and watch as the world takes shape 

In streaks of color and fields of rage 

Until the lions are burned at the stake 

It's a choice that we all have make 

It's a choice that I'll have to make 

Eyes on the horizon 

The sky is so blinding 

And it's not so surprising that it's nowhere 

But you're so happy to be there 

Whatever happened to the boy next door 

We never see him around anymore 

I heard he drowned and washed up on the shore 

Or maybe somebody evened the score 

Or maybe somebody scored 

I found a tracking device in my shoe 

Isn't there something that someone can do? 

I trust no one and especially you 

You told them everything that you knew 

You told them all that you knew 

Eyes on the horizon 

The sun is so blinding 

And it's not so surprising that it's nowhere 

But you're so happy to be there 

Here I am and it's nowhere again 

And your eye's on me and your hand is a pen 

And you're writing it down but you don't have an end 

It's so good to be here with my old and familiar friend nowhere 

Well, I'm convinced that underneath that blond hair 

There's a listening device planted there 

And there's a man who follows us everywhere 

And we shouldn't care, no, we shouldn't care 

Eyes on the horizon 

It's only thunder and lightning 

And again you're surmising that it's nowhere 

Ooh, but you're still happy to be there 

Oh, oh, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere 

Nowhere 

You told them all that you knew 

Nowhere 

I found a tracking device in my shoe 

Nowhere 

Isn't there something that someone can do? 

Nowhere 

I trust no one and especially you 

Nowhere 

You told them all that you knew 

Nowhere
