lyrics

Innocent Eyes
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 1983

Innocent eyes, innocent eyes
Never see a danger
Innocent eyes, innocent eyes
Always look To strangers

The sun comes up a day will start
A flame is lit to start the spark
Burning in the souls of the living
And you walk to Second Avenue
One more day to pay the dues
Of living in a world so unforgiving

Innocent eyes, innocent eyes
Never see a danger
Innocent eyes, innocent eyes
Always look to strangers

Celebrating the grey days
Living in all-night cafes
Moving with the joy and feeling able
You start to swing as the music sounds
But something makes you turn around
It's Machiavelli dancing on the table

Innocent eyes, Innocent eyes
Never see a danger
Innocent eyes, Innocent eyes
Always look to strangers

You look to find the human beat
You walk to forty-second street
Moving with whores and the hustlers
You stop to play a game of chance
One more time for a romance
Buying tickets to the heart from scalpers


Innocent eyes, innocent eyes
Never see a danger
Innocent eyes, innocent eyes
Always look to strangers
Never look to strangers
Always look to strangers
