LIZ PHAIR LYRICS - Bionic Eyes

"Bionic Eyes"



I love my bionic eyes

I love my crystal vision

If there's anybody out there

Baby I'm not gonna miss 'em



I watch the years go by

These are the same old guys I never had any use for

Beyond the feeling of pleasure

Or the thrill of the fight



I scored again last night

I said thanks for the drinks, nice party

Then I turned out the light



I've got timing and attitude

That can get to the baddest dude

That's when I hypnotize them

With my bionic eyes



As I got older I had to step out of the lines

And make up my own mind

As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board

I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever



It's easy in the beginning

When I can dazzle them

All night

Make 'em do what you wan' 'em to

Get 'em running after you

It's just the same old guys

Wearing the same old ties



As I got older I had to step out of the lines

And make up my own mind

As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board

I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever



I love my bionic eyes

I love my bionic eyes

I love my bionic eyes



If there's a parallel nation

And I'm a secret weapon

Show me a man you cannot break

And I will show you heaven



As I got older I had to step out of the lines

And make up my own mind

As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board

I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever
