Glitter In Their Eyes

Lyrics

It's been a while since I've seen your face
 It's 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
 Man, they'll cut you from limb to limb
 Pick your pocket 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
 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 been sold 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
 All that glitters
 Is not all that glitters
 Is not all that glitters
