Artist/Band: Patti Smith
Lyrics for Song: Glitter In Their Eyes
Lyrics for Album: Outside Society [2011]



It's been a while since I've seen your face

It's been a while since I've walked this place

I see the monkeys riding on their bikes

Racing through the impossible night



You say you're feeling like a new tree

Man, they'll cut you from limb to limb

Pick your pocket with delight

Shake it to the right

Shake it in the light



Chorus:

Oh can't you see the glitter

The glitter in their eyes

Oh can't you see the glitter

The glitter in their eyes



Genius stalking in new shoes

Have you got WTO blues

Dust of diamonds

Making you sneeze

Kids on rollers ready for

Running through the junkyards

Breezing through the halls

Racing through the malls

Walking through the walls

They'll strip your mind

Just for fun

Quoth the raven

Yum yum yum



Chorus



Children, children everywhere

Selling souls for souvenirs

They've been sold out like as not

Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat



Chorus 2x



They'll trade you up

Trade you down

Your body a commodity

Our sacred stage

Has been defaced

Replaced to grace

The marketplace

Dow is jonesing at the bit

42nd Disney Street

Ragged hearts unraveling

Look out kids

The gleam the gleam

All that glitters

Is not all that glitters

Is not all that glitters
