THE 69 EYES LYRICS

1. Dolce Vita

Good morning, Rome
Good night, Bangkok
Only lovers left alive, girl
Your drugs, your lips

It's our deep desire
Always to feel the fire

Cry out for a better world
Dance on like a pretty girl
Break out and let you burn
Like a real Dolce Vita, baby

Cry out for a better world
Dance on like a pretty girl
Break out and let you burn
Like a real Dolce Vita, baby

Yeah!

Bongiorno, Rome
Buona notte, Bangkok
Only lovers survive, girl
Your drugs, your lips

It's our deep desire
To feel the funeral pyre

Cry out for a better world
Dance on like a pretty girl
Break out and let you burn
Like a real Dolce Vita, baby

Cry out for a better world
Dance on like a pretty girl
Break out and let you burn
Like a real Dolce Vita, baby
Baby

[Solo]

Good morning, Rome
Only lovers left alive, girl
Your drugs
Dolce Vita, baby

Cry out for a better world
Dance on like a pretty girl
Break out and let you burn
Like a real Dolce Vita, baby

Cry out for a better world
Dance on like a pretty girl
Break out and let you burn
Like a real Dolce Vita, baby
Dolce Vita, baby
Baby

2. Jet Fighter Plane

It takes a thief to catch a thief
That's the cold war policy
Don't need no prophecy
Ever told you it ain't news
The world is crumbling from abuse
I don't need no other excuse

I bring you peace (Jet fighter plane)
Wipe down disease (Jet fighter plane)
Man-made machines (Oh oh oh oh)
Jet fighter plane

Live by a sword, die by a sword
That's the first stone policy
Don't need no apology
All the leaders in the news
False prophets blowing the fuse
Justifying the final excuse

I bring you peace (Jet fighter plane)
Wipe down disease (Jet fighter plane)
Man-made machines (Jet fighter plane)
Jet fighter plane (Oh oh oh oh)

I bring you peace (Jet fighter plane)
Wipe down disease (Jet fighter plane)
Man-made machines (Oh oh oh oh)
Jet fighter
Jet fighter plane

Did you know governments raising soldiers to kill

Ever told you it ain't news
The world is crumbling from abuse
I don't need no other excuse

I bring you peace (Jet fighter plane)
Wipe down disease (Jet fighter plane)
Man-made machines (Jet fighter plane)
Jet fighter plane (Oh oh oh oh)

I bring you peace (Jet fighter plane)
Wipe down disease (Jet fighter plane)
Man-made machines (Oh oh oh oh)
Jet fighter
Jet fighter plane

Governments raising children to kill

3. Blackbird Pie

All hail the gates of darkness
All hail the gates of night
I’m coming a long way dancing
Singing with a twilight in my eyes
Just gimme sweet sweet lady
Another slice of your pie

Sing a song for six pence
A pocket full of rye
Ten and twelve blackbirds
Baked in a pie
Kill the king of darkness
Steal the queen of night
And down comes a blackbird
Trying to peck off your eye

Thank you for your highness
Thank you for your wine
I’m leaving before the sunrise
Traveling with the shadows by my side
Just gimme sweet sweet lady
One last kiss of good-bye

Sing a song for six pence
A pocket full of rye
Ten and twelve blackbirds
Baked in a pie
Kill the king of darkness
Steal the queen of night
And down comes a blackbird
Trying to peck off your eye

Gimme gimme
Gimme gimme
Some blackbird bie

Gotta gimme
Gotta gimme
Some blackbird pie

4. Lady Darkness

Deep in her eyes
No place to disguise
And I can’t stare straight
I know she’s wise
Falling back on the start
I don’t mean no harm
Just a passer by
No need to charm

Excuse me
Dear lady darkness
I ain’t coming home
Tonight with you

He hours of night
Turn into the light
And I can’t stand straight
I know it’s bright
Writing back on my heart
I don’t need no-one
Just a kiss & bye
Before the sun

Excuse me
Dear lady darkness
I ain’t coming home
Tonight with you

Just get a drink
And gimme a year or two
And I’ll be o.k.

Falling back on the start
I don’t mean no harm
Just a passer-by
No need to charm

Excuse me
Dear lady darkness
I ain’t coming home
Tonight with you

5. Miss Pastis

Strangers in my dreams
They never rise their eyes
I try to turn on loose
Looking at the skies

I turn on loose
No time Toulouse

Salut ca va
Salut ca va
Salut ca va

She wore the highest heels
The shortest skirt I’ve ever seen
I try to turn on loose
Looking at her scene

I turn on loose
In Marseille not Toulouse

Salut ca va
Salut ca va
Salut ca va

Salut ca va
Miss Pastis

6. Shallow Graves

Hey Mr.Rabbit in a hurry and late
Don’t you know what it’s gonna take
Go ask Alice
She will know
What it’s like to fall down in your hole

All our lives we keep
Building shallow graves in greed
Till the death comes close
We’ll know what we’re gonna miss the most

You try to reach it but you’re already there
For a rat the race is never fair
Stop and look
You will see
The sand of time keeps on running free

All our lives we keep
Building shallow graves in greed
Till the death comes close
We’ll know what we’re gonna miss the most

Wrong notes in the symphony
Your DNA memory
And your blood carries a name
That’ll be written on your grave

All our lives we keep
Building shallow graves in greed
Till the death comes close
We’ll know what we’re gonna miss the most

7. Jerusalem

Going down to the Middle East
Going down to the beginning
Going down for the final feast
All the flesh is forbidden
Everybody seeks to be found
Get their sins forgiven
When you get yourself down here
Thousands of years disappear

Queen of Sheba
Israelita
Take me down to your gates
Jerusalem
House of the holy
Land of the lonely
Kingdom of heaven
Jerusalem
Jerusalem

Going down to erase my sins
And for a new beginning
Going down where faith lives
And where the walls are wailing
Everybody wants the given ground
And keep their ships sailing
When you get yourself down here
Thousands of years disappear

Queen of Sheba
Israelita
Take me down to your gates
Jerusalem
House of the holy
Land of the lonely
Kingdom of heaven
Jerusalem
Jerusalem

All the kings and their queens
Princes and princesses
When you get peace down here
Thousands of years disappear

Queen of Sheba
Israelita
Take me down to your gates
Jerusalem
House of the holy
Land of the lonely
Kingdom of heaven
Jerusalem
Jerusalem

8. Stiv & Johnny

Don’t touch
Keep your hands to yourself
I see what you want
To look into a rebel eyes¨
You’re a fallen angel
Looking for trouble in paradise
I don’t need no one
Better drop your gun

Take
You’re heart back
I don’t need it and that’s a fact
Got my own cross to bear
We don’t fit anywhere

Don’t ask
Keep your questions to yourself
We got all we want
To live here forever free
We’re the fallen angels
Of the lower east side
We don’t need no one
Better drop your gun

Take
You’re heart back
I don’t need it and that’s a fact
Got my own cross to bear
We don’t fit anywhere

Stiv & Johnny
Gene & Eddie
Always looking down from heaven

Take
You’re heart back
I don’t need it and that’s a fact
Got my own cross to bear
We don’t fit anywhere

9. Never

Don’t you count on suicide rates
To wipe me away
I can handle my own mistakes
If you gimme a shelter to stay
Don’t you count on suicide rates
To wipe me away
I try to handle my own mistakes
Gimme a shelter to stay

Cops never get me
Drugs never get me
Fuck-ups never hit me
If you love me
Cops never get me
Drugs never get me
Fuck-ups never hit me
If you love me

Every time you hear the sirens call
To end this all
But they can’t hurt me not anymore
If you don’t let me fall
Every time you hear the sirens call
To end this all
They can’t hurt me no anymore
Together we won’t fall

Cops never get me
Drugs never get me
Fuck-ups never hit me
If you love me
Cops never get me
Drugs never get me
Fuck-ups never hit me
If you love me
If you love me
If you love me
If you love me

10. Blue

In you
Deep blue
Dancing ocean
Deep like a thousand dreams
Deep in your dreams

If you love me
Could you love me
Could you love me more
If you love me
Could you love me
Like she did before
If you love me
Could you love me
Could you love me more
If you love me
Could you love me
Like she did before

Feel blue
In you

Dancing ocean
Deep like a thousand dreams
Deep in your dreams

Like she did before

Feel blue
In you

11. Rock 'N' Roll Junkie

Catch your falling
Falling on me
You broke your glass
Pouring ice on me
Who got your tongue
Baby can't you talk
It's just the way you walk

You're just a
Rock'n'roll junkie
Every guy's around you like a monkey

Got you running
Running from me
You're such a mess
My eyes can see
Who broke your heart
Baby can't you talk
It's just the way you walk

You're just a
Rock'n'roll junkie
And every guy's around you like a monkey

You're just a
Rock'n'roll junkie
And every guy's around you like a monkey
You're just a
Rock'n'roll junkie
And every guy's around you like a monkey

Rock'n'roll junkie, mon amour
Que cherches tu encore et toujours

You're just a
Rock'n'roll junkie
And every guy's around you like a monkey
You're just a
Rock'n'roll junkie
And every guy's around you like a monkey
