Lyrics The Republic Tigers

The Republic Tigers

Stranger To The Eyes Of A Child-Man

People everywhere

You got to stop and breathe the air

Then you might see it

But you won't believe it

And all your life you've seen the signs

And they brought light to our design

It's perforated

Meant to be upgraded

Science dubs more miracles

As distance grows from us back to the womb

It's stranger to the eyes of a child-man

But these lights don't make a carnival

Nah, it's all wrong as

Strangers walk on past

The light that's last

No shadows cast

And I'm one of them most of the time

No shadows cast

No shadows cast

It's stranger to the eyes of a child-man

The path is where you stand

It's not to be seen, so step ahead

Not complicated

But the signal's faded

People everywhere

You grown up breathin' stagnant air

Now when you see it

You got words to explain it

Everything's been stigmatized

By those who add their own surprise

Makes it stranger to the eyes of a child-man

But these lights don't make a carnival

Nah, it's all wrong as

Strangers walk on past

The light that's last

No shadows cast

And I'm one of them most of the time

But range is broad

And even still more vast

With no live-in past

Light built up blast

And I've never known a stranger thing

(Never seen a stranger thing)

It's stranger to the eyes of a child-man

(Never known a stranger thing)

(Never seen a stranger thing)

But these lights don't make a carnival

(Never known a stranger thing)

Though range is broad

(Never seen a stranger thing)

And even still more vast

(Never known a stranger thing)

With no live-in past

(Never seen a stranger thing)

Light built up past

(Never known a stranger thing)

And I've never known a stranger thing
