Eyes of a Stranger lyrics

by

Queensrÿche


[Intro]
Dr. David, telephone please, Dr. David
Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair, Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J Hamilton
[Nikki screaming and complaining to a nurse]

[Verse 1]
All alone now except for the memories
Of what we had, and what we knew
Every time I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
Looking back at me

[Chorus]
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare

[Verse 2]
Is this all that's left of my life before me?
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
[Chorus]
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare
Lies behind my stare

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
How many times must I live this tragedy?
How many more lies will they tell me?
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long?

[Chorus]
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare

[Instrumental Bridge: Medley of "Operation: Mindcrime", "Speak", "Revolution Calling"]
Revolution
[Outro]
I remember now
