The colors were burning up his eyes
The bright lights of the city fade
Taking the chase to cover up your eyes
The white moon cast in space

Ooh, something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

You, you, you, you
You will take the breath from my throat
And you, you, you, you
You will take the challenge, we go about our war

Come inside
You will be one of us painless, one of us brainless
Go to sleep, this won't hurt a bit
Shifting your shape to ourselves

Ooh, something's not right
I can feel it inside
Something's not right

You, you, you, you
You will take the breath from my throat
And you, you, you, you
You will take the challenge, we go about our war

And they will try to make us forget ourselves
One by one, one by one
Call me crazy but they are after us
One by one, one by one

They are after us, I swear
Do you believe it, I believe it too

Eisley

Eisley is a rock band from Tyler, Texas, consisting of four siblings (Chauntelle, Sherri, Stacy, and Weston) and their cousin (Garron), all of whom were born and live in Texas. Although the band's name translates to ice island in several Germanic languages, it was actually selected by the bandmates because of its link to the Star Wars saga (i.e. Mos Eisley). more »
