A Million Hungry Eyes

I remember in Red Square
The monuments to us
A little toxin in our drinks
Had turned our tongues to rust

It's so hard to believe you're a swan
The curtains hang half-drawn
You wait for earth or sun to bring you dawn

A million hungry mouths
Would strip you to your bones
And every note would still
Be perfectly in tune
A million hungry eyes
Would strip you to your clothes
And everyone would still
They'd say you hung the moon
They'd say you hung the moon

You brought me pages of hardcore torn
And casts of lovers yet unborn
You carried me across the room in a swoon
To soon forget you hung the moon

A million hungry mouths
Would strip you to your bones
And every note would still
Be perfectly in tune
A million hungry eyes
Would strip you to your clothes
And everyone would still
They'd say you hung the moon

Be quiet on the set
Take one
Be quiet on the set
Take two
Be quiet on the set...

'Cause a million hungry mouths
Would strip you to your bones
And every note would still
be perfectly in tune.
A million hungry eyes
Would strip you to your clothes
And everyone would still
They'd say you hung the moon

Mason this is brilliant!

@livemusicmediatv Thanks! We have Tiger Darrow and Jonathan Seet to thank for that! :)

This is the song I could never write... in any sense of the word. Arrangement or original. This is great, and really makes me jealous/sad at being a musician. :D

[atrismusic]

@redshojin Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed this song as much as we did! Have you checked out any more of Jonathan Seet's work? We're big fans! Tiger Darrow really deserves the credit for this arrangement. We'd definitely suggest checking her stuff out too!

[Pierrotechnique]

hmm, quite a good piece of musical artistry, chap!
