“Big Eyes” is a soundtrack song for the Tim Burton film of the same name. Played mid-film, it compliments the female protagonist’s thoughts as she rebels against her exploitive lover.
Lana’s other song for Big Eyes is ending credit piece “I Can Fly”.
[Chorus]
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
[Verse 1]
I saw you creeping around the garden; what are you hiding?
I beg your pardon, don't tell me "nothing"
I used to think that I could trust you
I was your woman
You were my knight and shining companion
[Pre-Chorus]
To my surprise
My love's demise
Was his own greed
And lullabies
[Chorus]
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
[Verse 2]
I noticed you got hot in summer
You had no comfort
Your shirt was cotton
Your face was sunburned
You paced around like you'd been waiting
Waiting for something
Your world was burning and I stood watching
[Pre-Chorus]
As I looked on
The flames grew high
You watched me frown
I said "goodbye"
[Chorus]
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
[Bridge]
Is it me, was I wrong to have trusted you?
Did I see what I wanted, what wasn't true?
Was I wrong to go on like a little fool?
It's amazing what women in love will do
[Chorus]
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
