Jane can't keep herself home tonight
Keep herself believing she'll be all right
Keep herself awake to a body that's close
To the hands and the feet that nobody else knows
All the way from London she looks away
Laughing at herself and her black eyeshade
Boy can't keep his pain under the glass
Laughing at the world as it just slides past
I know this black eye wastes these days
I know this black eye wastes these days
Maybe permission ain't good enough
Maybe you need someone who can stand your love
Maybe there's somebody who's cool to the touch
Keep yourself for hurting yourself so much
I know this black eye wastes these days Wastes this light
I know this black eye wastes these days
Let me sacrifice our love
Let me hold your head up high
Let me hang you from the sky
I know this black eye wastes
I know this black eye wastes
I know this black eye wastes these days
