Struggling with Naked Eye? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Take a little dope And walk out in the air The stars are all connected To the brain Find me a woman and lay down on the ground Her pleasure comes fallin' down like rain Get myself a car I feel power as I fly Whoa, now I'm really in control It all looks fine To the naked eye! But it don't really happen that way at all! Don't happen that way at all! You sign your own name And I'll sign mine They're both the same We still get separate rooms You can cover up your guts But when you cover up your nuts You're admittin' that there must be something wrong Press any button Milk and honey flow The world begins behind your neighbor's wall It all looks fine To the naked eye! But it don't really happen that way at all! Don't happen that way at all! You hold the gun And I hold the wound And we stand lookin' in each other's eyes It all looks fine To the naked eye! But it don't really happen that way at all! Don't happen that way at all!
