Glitter in Their Eyes Lyrics

Patti Smith

It's been a while since I've seen your face Been a while since I've walked this place I see the monkeys riding on their bikes Racing through the impossible night
You say you're feeling like a new tree Oh, man they'll cut you from limb to limb Pick your pockets with delight Shake it to the right, shake it in the light
Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes
Genius stalking in new shoes Have you got WTO blues Dust of diamonds Making you sneeze Kids on rollers ready for running
Through the junkyards Breezing through the halls Racing through the malls And walking through the walls
They'll strip your mind Just for fun Quoth the raven Yum, yum, yum
Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes
Children, children everywhere Selling souls for souvenirs They've sold them out like as not Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat
Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes
Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes Oh, can't you see the glitter The glitter in their eyes
They'll trade you up, trade you down Your body a commodity Our sacred stage has been defaced Replaced to grace the marketplace
Dow is jonesing at the bit 42nd Disney Street Ragged hearts unraveling Look out kids the gleam the gleam Is not, is not
