Bus Stop Eyes

(James Downham, Mark Smith)

She's an Oriental girl with an ornamental smile
I'm the Occidental boy with an accidental stare

I shift my gaze, but not too quick
Not quick enough
She sees the bus stop man inside of me
Stealing dreams from the kids on the street
She's wise to me, but I can just
                Close my eyes . . .

I'm a fundamentals man with a fun, demented, fear
She's a circumstantial girl with no circumstances here

I turn to run, but not too quick
Not quick enough
She sees the dangerous man I want to be
She sees the other, the hidden me
She's wise to me, but I can just
Close me eyes . . .

I could run really fast
Try so hard to hide my past
I could be a different guy
I could blend in with the sky

She'll see my bus stop eyes
The bus stop man inside of me

(I'm not alone; I'm not allowed
I'm not the man I was when I was proud)
