Behind Green Eyes

behind green eyes
(with apologies to P Townshend)

No one knows what it's like
To be the mad one
To be the sad one
Behind green eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be slated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my waking seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame who?

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my waking seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the mad one
To be the sad one
Behind green eyes
