Soma is what they would take when

hard times opened their eyes

Saw pain in a new way

High stakes for a few names

Racing against sunbeams

Losing against their dreams

In your eyes,

I am

Stop, and go

In your eyes,

I am

Stop, and go

In your eyes

Lets go

Intro riff

G F G

When I saw her for the first time lips moved as her eyes closed

Heard something in his voice

G F

"And i'll be there," he says and he walks out

G F

Somehow he was trying too hard to be like them

And I am

Stop, and go

In your eyes, and I am

Stop and darling let me go

Try it once and they liked it, and try to hide it

Says I've been doing this twenty-five years

Well I'm not listening no more

And these friends they keep asking for more

Oh yeah

G-G-G

Oh but thats it
