[Verse 1]
Feeling down 'n' dirty, feeling kinda mean
I've been from one to another extreme
It's time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait
I wanna stick around 'till I can't see straight

[Chorus]
Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me

[Verse 2]
Never do more than I, I really need
My mind is racing, but my body's in the lead
Tonight's the night, I'm gonna push it to the limit
I live all of my years in a single minute

[Chorus]
Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision always seems to get the best of me, the best of me, yeah-eah eah-eah-hey

[Outro]
Oh-ooh (oh) oh-oh, double vision
(Oh) I need double vision
(Oh, double vision) it takes me out of my head, taking me out of my head
(Oh, double vision) I get my double vision, woa-oah
(Oh, double vision) seeing double double, double vision
(Oh, double vision) oh-oh my my double vision
(Oh, double vision) double vision, yeah-ah-ah eah-eah eah-eah ah
(Oh, double vision) I get double vision, oooh
How, how?

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
