You're nothing in the eyes of the world But you're riding up and down in the elevator still Feeling just a little surprised Like you discovered Englebert Humperdink or something Inside the fairy light It's often hard to tell The way you see yourself Will lead you to despair The eyes of the world will look right through your scene It's nothing new to me, that's what I used to be Someone in the eyes of the world You look into the eyes of the world Hoping to catch your reflection again Missing all the real life action So calm and dignified you rise up from the chair Put the powder on and climb the slippery stairs Inside a sleazy room with a bible for companion Bleeding fingernail, you'll never know yourself The eyes of the world they look right through you You're nothing in the eyes of the world The hint of a smile appears on your face When you realise there's nothing In the eyes of the world
