Lyrics to:
Glitter in their eyes
From Gung Ho
By Patti Smith



It's been a while since I've seen your face
It's been a while since I've walked this place
I see the monkeys riding on their bikes 
Racing through the impossible night 

You say you're feeling like a new tree
Man they'll cut you from limb to limb
Pick your pocket with such delight 
Shake it to the right 
Shake it in the light 

Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes 
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes 

Genius stalking in new shoes 
Have you got WTO blues 
Dust of diamonds
Making you sneeze
Kids on rollers ready for
Running through the junkyards
Breezing through the halls 
Racing through the malls
Walking through the walls
They'll strip your mind
Just for fun
Quoth the raven 
Yum yum yum

Children children everywhere
Selling souls for souvenirs 
They've been sold out like as not
Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat

They'll trade you up
Trade you down 
Your body a commodity
Our sacred stage
Has been defaced 
Replaced to grace 
The marketplace 
Dow is jonesing at the bit 
42nd Disney Street 
Ragged hearts unraveling 
Look out kids 
The gleam the gleam
All that glitters 
Is not all that glitters 
Is not all that glitters
