Billy Idol

[Verse 1: Billy Idol]
I'm so out of hope
One more bad break
And I might fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
You see, it's easy to deceive
Easy to tease
But hard to get release

[Chorus: Billy Idol & Stella Soleil]
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
They got no human grace
They're eyes without a face

[Verse 2: Billy Idol]
I spend all my time
Believing all the lies
To keep my dreams alive
Yes, it makes me sad
It'd make you mad at truth
For loving what was you

[Chorus: Billy Idol & Stella Soleil]
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
They got no human grace
Your eyes without a face

[Bridge: Billy Idol]
When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket and then make a slip
You steal a car and go to Las Vegas
Ooh, the gigolo pool
Hanging out by the state line
Turning holy water into wine
Then you drink it down
Yow! I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
I'm reading murder books, trying to stay hip
And I'm, I think of you and you're out there, so
Say your prayers

[Verse 3: Billy Idol]
Now I close my eyes
Yes, I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
When it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise

[Chorus: Billy Idol & Stella Soleil]
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
They got no human grace
They're eyes without a face
Just some human waste
They're eyes without a face

Yow yow ow!
