Science Fiction Eyes ©2011 Chris Conway
They say that the eyes are a window of what’s inside
That children's eyes can reflect their parents friction
A lonely man’s eyes give out loneliness
And anxious eyes cannot hide their stress
But my eyes just drink in and radiate science fiction Coz I’ve got
Science fiction eyes
Science fiction eyes
Either my optical nerves are telling me lies
Or I’ve got science fiction eyes

You see an airport but I see stargate to outer space
I’m in an alien city when I’m walking down the street
My mobile phone is a communicator
My microwave oven is a replicator
The TV News is a top secret message from Star FleetCoz I’ve got
Science fiction eyes, science fiction eyes
Either my optical nerves are telling me lies
Or I’ve got science fiction eyes

Sometimes my eyes can deliver lethal lasers
Sometimes one goes jet black while the other one glows
Sometimes my eyes can see back in time
To save the world or to solve a crime
But sometimes all they can do is just see through clothes...

And suddenly my car is a shuttlecraft
Taking me anywhere I want to go
And there’s Arcturan brandy in my Orangensaft
And I’m shouting at Gort “Klaatu barada nicto!!!!”

Why can’t real life be more like sci-fi?
Why can’t a matter transporter take me right now to you?
Last night I went mad and I thought I’d lost it
I gave myself a level 4 diagnostic
Why can’t a doctor cure me with a little gadget that goes “ooooooo”?

Coz I’ve got
Science fiction eyes, science fiction eyes
Either my optical nerves are telling me lies
Or this the bridge of the Enterprise
Or (I'm singing this song under Martian skies
Or I’ve got science fiction eyes
