Lustre

Lustre in your eyes every morning

Lustre from the day you were born

Lustre from the ruby red blood on my hands

When you pulled out all the thorns

Lustre when you're lower than ever

Lustre when your house burns down

Lustre when the love of your life has gone

And all your checks have bounced

Lustre on the smile of a skeleton

Lustre from a dying star

Lustre when the past is a foot in the ditch

And the future's too bizarre

Lustre when your worries are lonely

Lustre on the sweat of your lair

Lustre never shines in the final scene

When sticking to the script

And I see the lustre in your eyes

And I see the lustre in your eyes

Lustre when the drunk owns science

Lustre for the whipping boy

Lustre for the sad sad troubadour

Who throws out all his toys

Lustre when it's having to think straight

Lustre in the nanny state

Lustre when nobody will leave you alone

And you're driven to sedate

Lustre in your eyes every morning

Lustre from the day you were born

Lustre from the ruby red blood on my hands

When you pulled out all the thorns

Lustre when the joke is over

Lustre when the dream is dead

Lustre is the word stuck on your tongue

When all has not been said

And I see the lustre in your eyes

And I see the lustre in your eyes

And it burns me to my very soul

And it burns me to my very soul

And I see the lustre in your eyes
