  Frightened Eyes

    Just traveling on a bus
    From a friend's house,
    And all these people are looking at me.
    They're gazing out windows,
    At any English country garden.

    But as gazes meet,
    Vacancy shows on screen.
    But I feel inside
    The latent hysteria:
    "Why is she looking at me?"

        And as I drift from one to one I can see
        They're all like me.
        They've all got frightened eyes
        Saying what they're thinking,
        What they are doing tonight.

        They've all got frightened eyes,
        Saying, "Leave me alone,
        I'm perfectly safe here inside.
        Please don't surprise me."

    Expressionless.
    Everyone here loves cheap wine--
    We all know good taste,
    We just get too busy trying to find
    The right games to play.

    Impatient, aren't we all?
    Watching the time trip by.
    And all these people are looking at me.
    They're gazing out windows.
    They're burning out in there.

        And as I drift from one to one I can see
        They're all like me.
        They've all got frightened eyes
        Saying what they're thinking,
        What they are doing tonight.

        They've all got frightened eyes,
        Saying, "Leave me alone,
        I'm perfectly safe here inside.
        Please don't surprise me."
