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 realize there's nothing in the eyes of the world
