Must have passed by you one hundred times before
Fresh from the coast, this city can't hold you no more
Got a face for the movies, a smile for a silver screen
Oh emerald eyes, you're stuck here inbetween
Came through the back gate, the patio talk too loud
Some time past midnight, we lost track of those in the background
Shoulder to shoulder, the patio empty and still
Oh emerald eyes, if you want me to I will
Get in the taxi and drive around our fair steel town
Stand in the kitchen and those four walls are spinnin' around
You had a lover, I think I've seen her around
But you keep your lips tied and hoping that I won't find out
This gets older and older each time your lips shape the excuse
But emerald eyes, it's nice to be with you
Oh emerald eyes, it's nice to be with you
