Lyrics
0:49Cold cold eyes on me they stare
0:55People all around me and they're all in fear
1:01They don't seem to want me but they won't admit
1:06Thinkin' black on black
1:08Strange creature out here havin' fits
1:14From my body house I'm afraid to come outside
1:19Although I'm filled with love
1:21I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride
1:25So I play the part I feel they want of me
1:31And I'II pull the shades so I won't see them seein' me
1:37Havin' hard times in this crazy town
1:42Havin' hard times there's no love to be found
1:55From my body house I see like me another
2:30Familiar face of creed and race a brother
2:36But to my surprise I found another man corrupt
2:52Although he be my brother he wants to hold me up
Cold cold eyes on me they stare People all around me and they're all in fear They don't seem to want me but they won't admit Thinkin' black on black Strange creature out here havin' fits From my body house I'm afraid to come outside Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride So I play the part I feel they want of me And I'II pull the shades so I won't see them seein' me Havin' hard times in this crazy town Havin' hard times there's no love to be found From my body house I see like me another Familiar face of creed and race a brother But to my surprise I found another man corrupt Although he be my brother he wants to hold me up
