Jarvis Cocker
"You're In My Eyes (Discosong)"
Grey floaters inside my eyes
And visible when you look into a clear blue sky
Memories of days gone by activated by a mirror ball shining bright
In a provincial disco on a Thursday night
You appeared from nowhere beside me on the floor
Identical in every detail to the way you were before
The best part of a decade since you went out of my life
The worst part of a decade, and here you are tonight
By my side
You're in my eyes, you're in my face
Just like before you went away
You're in my arms, I feel your warmth
And I will dance until the dawn
'Cause I don't want to lose you again, oh no
Yeah, I don't want to lose you again, oh no
A trick of the light, a disco hallucination
A waking dream, an impossible situation
Oh but you (??) don't stop, don't disappear
I need you here
I need you here
You're in my eyes, you're in my face
Just like before you went away
You're in my arms, I feel your warmth
And I will dance until the dawn
'Cause I don't want to lose you again, oh no
Yeah, 'cause I don't want to lose you again, oh no
And I don't want this song to ever end, 'cause I know if it did then you would disappear again. Let this be forever through the air. Caught in a loop that repeats on endlessly. It was the mirror ball that did it. A chance reflection that sparked you back to life, like you'd just been to the bar for a little while. And you smiled and there was nothing in your eyes like the silt in mine making it hard to get around. I thought you'd gone but all this time I'd been carrying you around in my eyes.
In my eyes
In my eyes
You're in my eyes, you're in my face
Just like before you went away
You're in my arms, I feel your warmth
And I will dance until the dawn
'Cause I don't want to lose you again, oh no
Yeah, I don't want to lose you again, oh no
Yeah, I don't want to lose you again, oh no
