Every Strangers Eyes Lyrics - Roger Waters

[Waitress:] "You wanna cup of coffee?" 

[Customers:] "Heh, Turn that fucking juke box down 

You want to turn down that juke box....loud in here" 

[Waitress:] "I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee? 

Ok, you take cream and sugar? Sure." 

In truck stops and hamburger joints 

In Cadillac limousines 

In the company of has-beens 

And bent-backs 

And sleeping forms on pavement steps 

In libraries and railway stations 

In books and banks 

In the pages of history 

In suicidal cavalry attacks 

I recognise... 

Myself in every stranger's eyes 

And in wheelchairs by monuments 

Under tube trains and commuter accidents 

In council care and county courts 

At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts 

In drawing rooms and city morgues 

In award winning photographs 

Of life rafts on the China seas 

In transit camps, under arc lamps 

On unloading ramps 

In faces blurred by rubber stamps 

I recognise... 

Myself in every stranger's eyes 

And now, from where I stand 

Upon this hill 

I plundered from the pool 

I look around 

I search the skies 

I shade my eyes 

So nearly blind 

And I see signs of half remembered days 

I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways 

I recognise... 

The hope you kindle in your eyes 

It's oh so easy now 

As we lie here in the dark 

Nothing interferes, it's obvious 

How to beat the tears 

That threaten to snuff out 

The spark of our love
