lyrics

EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD – So you just won the lottery for the fourth time in a row. Some incredible luck as most agree. You think you’re the only one who knows. You think your talent, it goes unseen. You feel you journey has just begun. But you’re a prized weapon for The Machine, and now they’ve got you on the run. You got eyes in the back of your head to read the lines in between. You got them eyes in the back of your head. You can glimpse what we can’t see. You built some distance. You made some space, but they caught you at border. And now you’re back, you’re back at their place. They said your papers weren’t in order. You were back at their base. You had lost the chase, and you were easy to erase. You got away and now you’re free. You don’t worry ‘bout makin’ money. Living in the shadows among the trees, you only emerge to win the lottery.
