Song lyrics

Send "Behind Blue Eyes" ringtones to your cell

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes 
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies 

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be 

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free 

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you 

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through 

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be 

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free 

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool 

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat 

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I don't think Limp made Behind Blue Eyes more famous, maybe among younger kids that only listen to radio, but they forget about it as soon as the radio stop playing it...

32 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal W00t! Another one of my theme songs! I think this song really hits a lot of people's nerves because I think everybody experiences feeling misunderstood or somehow like an outcast.... Oh, and lets not forget what a freaking beautiful song on a whole it is.... h+k, :: rooki::

9 posts	I like this song, and especially the, when my fist is clenching crack it open. It's almost unexpected that the song does that, if you have never listened to it before. It's all sad and slow, then angry an fast. And Limp, he sings it good but he cut out the best part so I really don't like the Limp Bizcuit (or however it's spelled) version at all.
