Phony Eyes (Live at the Screem, 1993)

[Verse 1]
Flipped on the radio
To a passion play
Sounds much better now, and it
Sounds all the same
Fade in, fade out
Could it be a game?
Some things go 'round and ’round, but they
Never change

[Chorus]
No phony, oh phony eyes
No phony, oh phony eyes

[Verse 2]
Flipped on a video
Chasing a rhyme
Watched all the scary bones
Into the night
Fade in, fade out
Build up the hype
Paper-thin images
Drifting from sight

[Chorus]
No phony, oh phony eyes
No phony, oh phony eyes
Nothing but phony eyes
1, 2, 3

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Thin veil of innocence
Can't smother the flame
This angry atmosphere
Where we're all insane, and
Face it, don’t space it
It's not just a
Too many phony eyes
Too little shame

[Chorus]
No phony eyes
No phony eyes
Nothing but phony, nothing but phony eyes
Nothing but phony eyes
Hey!

[Spoken Outro: Mike Roe]
Gosh, you're so kind. "Happy Roy," huh? That's a beautiful thing!

[David Leonhardt]
Yeah, Mike bought cheap strings tonight.

[Mark Harmon]
Yeah, Mike, geez!

[Roe]
Yeah, we got a guy back here that you don't know. He's a real guy. His name is Guy. This is Guy on the percussion. Hey, Guy, take a bow. This was requested, this was written by our guitar player, Mr. David Leonhardt. 1, 2, 3, hey!
