’72 Eye Contact Songtext
von The Magnetic Fields

Eye contact
Must we make eye contact?
Must we always react
Through frowns and smiles?

Let′s make a pact
When we must interact
Facing front would distract
From our profiles
Lovely profiles

Eye contact
How I hate eye contact!
Having to stare
Exactly, in fact, where?


Pretend to care
Where you happen to stare
Break contact if you dare
Haha, I win
Haha, I win

Eye contact
For the autodidact
Ever and always smacked
Of smarmy charm

Call me barmy
Must we all be warm?
Must all warmth take the form
Of eye contact?
Contact, my eye!
