Black Shades Over Red Eyes - The Strypes

Gillian I think it’s alright

Even though everybody is trying to stay in flavor

We idolise those guys with six packs and pearly whites

'Cause they’ve got more followers than your Lord and Saviour

Gillian I think it’s okay

That nobody’s got it figured out

We drive ourselves insane trying to make it rain

When the sunshine is what we’re all about

Yeah we just need to settle

But no need to settle down

We got time to make rays and mess around

Yeah we’re all cruel creatures

But there’s proof among the preachers

That the truth will come and meet us one day

No lie

I’m good with muddy and a blue sky

Yeah, the future’s bright

Even with black shades over red eyes

They only ever got the cliff notes

You wanna hang on every line

But there’s a world out there you’ve get to know

That’s full of hopes and Romeo’s

Bad manners and good times

And I see the fear on the street below

Wishing that we’d jump into the lifestyle

But there’s no problem with cruising along

If we all pack sparks and a nice smile

We just need to settle

We’re not settled for less

As we’re driving in the bottles of happiness

I said we’re all cruel creatures

But there’s proof among the preachers

That the truth will come and meet us one day

No lie

I’m good with muddy and a blue sky

Oh yeah, the future’s bright

Even with black shades over red eyes

No lie

I’m good with muddy and a blue sky

Yeah, the future’s bright

Black shades over red eyes

No lie

I’m good with muddy and a blue sky

Oh yeah, the future’s bright

With black shades over red eyes

With black shades over red eyes

With black shades over red eyes

With black shades over red eyes
