Like Eye Contact in an Elevator Songtext
von Dillinger Four

Here are your eyes
Here are your eyes
Shut them quietly
Don′t get me wrong but I gotta believe
There's something going on here that I can′t see
Your mouth's moving and a sound's coming out
But I don′t have a clue what you′re talking about
I can't explain how I am the one
Who has to sit and listen while you′re flapping your gums
The more I pull back, the tighter the chain
I'm getting dumber every minute but I can′t get away
Paralyzed from the neck up
Paralyzed from the neck up
I know the way but I am lost
Forcing down these explosions
Of bitterness and apathy
I try hard to care but I just don't succeed
Feigning a smile and a knowing glance
Hope these eyes aren′t betraying
My heart was never in this fight


I closed all the doors and I blocked out the light
I got no energy to hear me now
I've taken all I got not to just turn around
I'm watching out every word that you say
Promise to look along but I′m as good as dead
I can′t explain how I am the one
Who has to sit and listen while you're flapping your gums
The more I pull back, the tighter the chain
I′m getting dumber every minute but I can't get away
Paralyzed from the neck up
Paralyzed from the neck up
I know the way but I am lost
Forcing down these explosions
Of bitterness and apathy
I try hard to care but I just don′t succeed
Feigning a smile and a knowing glance
Hope these eyes aren't betraying
My heart was never in this fight
I closed all the doors and I blocked out the light
I can′t explain how I am the one
Who has to sit and listen while you're flapping your gums
The more I pull back, the tighter the chain
I'm getting dumber every minute but I can′t get away
Paralyzed from the neck up
Paralyzed from the neck up
Paralyzed from the neck up
