Where Have You Been? lyrics

What does it mean when a man's eyes turn black

When you're making love?

What does it mean when a man's eyes turn black?

Tell me 'cause I never seen something quite scared me like that

I saw darkness where I should have seen light

And it wasn't the beautiful darkness of night

But a thing of a kind that would cause a fright

I saw darkness where I should have seen light

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Eyes more frightening I've never seen

What do they want with me?

What do they want with me?

Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Same as it means when a prince's eyes turn white

Sitting by his door in the midnight

Tin-foil on his windows 'cause he can't take light

And it wasn't the beautiful wisdom of light

But a white of a kind that would give you a fright

Colour all gone, no iris in sight

I saw darkness where I should have seen light

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Eyes more frightening I've never seen

What do they want with me?

What do they want with me?

Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Same when the friend of the prince spikes your smoke

Hoping to make you a mess and a joke

But you never were his, you never were his

No matter what he did

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Eyes more frightening I've never seen

What do they want with me?

What do they want with me?

Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Eyes more frightening I've never seen

What do they want with me?

What do they want with me?
