Eyes Wide ShutBilly Idol

Released: October 17, 2014

Songwriter: Billy Morrison Steve Stevens Billy Idol

Producer: Trevor Horn

You call me crazy
As you call my name
But your temptations
Drive me insane

A golden silence
With the lights so low
An invitation that I'll never know

Queen of the scene
But you're so obscene
With your long black hair
And you just don't care

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut

Spiral staircase
And a flowing robe
Eyes of fire
That give me hope

But through the airways
A sign so clear
There is someone else that you hold dear

Changing your mind
In the blink of an eye
And forgettin' your lies
It was no surprise

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut

Worldwide chaos girl
People love and hate
A nationwide panic, yeah
And the future quakes

The social network
Betrayed my dreams
You with another guy
My mind starts to scream

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

You call me crazy
As you call my name
You call me crazy

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
You know I fell for you
With my eyes wide shut

The tears I cried
And the truth I denied myself
I should have walked away
With my eyes wide shut

Billy Idol

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
