Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Girl With X-Ray Eyes Lyrics

Tried to hang on to myself
Don't believe in no-one else
And I'm shakin' like a leaf
as I fall into the street

But the girl with X-Ray eyes,
she's gonna see through my disguise

Going nowhere down a hill,
It's hard to swallow, like the pill
that was twisted on your tongue
by the seed of the standing still

There was no-one to be seen,
no-one left to hear my scream...

So she took me by the hand
We followed clues left in the sand
as she swallowed space and time
We gathered, pulled, and swam
She shot me to the sun,
like a bullet from the gun...

When the deed was done,
in the morning she was gone

Turn the page and let it go
like your mother told you so
Life, it stretches on for miles
The truth is on your stereo

The girl with X-ray eyes
she's gonna see through your disguise

So she took me by the hand
We followed clues left in the sand
as she swallowed space and time
We gathered, pulled, and swam
She shot me to the sun,
like a bullet from the gun
When the deed was done,
in the morning she was gone
