Eyes Wide Open Lyrics

Crazy planet no alignment
Rise above
Hit the jet stream
Rocky road got my assignment
Rise above ride my dreams

One on one take a little bite
What I got you never had
One on one no use to fight
Love's my thing so good it's bad

Love's my thing so good it's bad
So good it's bad so good it's bad

Let's go down to our secret place
So good it's bad so good it's bad

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

Unexpected undetected
You got my eyes wide open
Hiding from those prying eyes
You got my eyes wide open
Below the radar in plain sight
You got my eyes wide open
Secret passage to your place tonight
You got my eyes wide open

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past
I just want release
I just want some peace

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past
I just want release
I just want some peace

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

Feel it feel it feel it feel it
Oh yeah
Feel it feel it feel it feel it
Oh yeah

Yeah you're so good
So good it's bad
What you got is what I want
One on one don't you fight
Pull it together ride it right

Love so good so good it's bad
What I got you never had
Get it together get it right
Get it together take a bite
Can you feel it unexpected
Can you feel it undetected
Livin' on the periphery

Can you feel it unexpected
Can you feel it undetected
Livin' on the periphery

Can you feel it words are bombs
Can you feel it words are missiles
Livin' on the periphery

Can you feel it undetected
Can you feel it so unexpected
Living on the periphery

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past
I just want release
I just want some peace

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

I don't wanna clash
I don't want to rehash the past
I just want release
I just want some peace

Let's go down to our secret place
You got my eyes wide open

The B-52's are an American rock band that formed in 1976 in Athens, Georgia, United States. A major part of the new wave scene, the band started out as Fred Schneider (vocals), Kate Pierson (vocals, organ), Cindy Wilson (vocals, bongos), Ricky Wilson (guitar), and Keith Strickland (drums). After Ricky Wilson died in 1985, Strickland replaced him as a guitarist. They're perhaps best known for their 1978 single "Rock Lobster" and their 1989 pop smash "Love Shack".

The name comes from the bouffant wigs that are part of the band's distinctive look, worn by singers Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson. Along with Wilson and Pierson, fellow vocalist Fred Schneider, drummer (and later guitarist) Keith Strickland, and guitarist Ricky Wilson (Cindy's older brother) formed the band after a drunken night at a Chinese restaurant. They shared a passion for mixing and matching older styles with a partying, good-time public image, with set them apart from many staid 70s contemporaries.

Their sound is particularly marked by the vocals of Wilson and Pierson, with Kate singing in a slightly deeper voice, along with the generally monotone or spoken-word vocals of Schneider. Aside from their vocals, the band also had a unique New Wave sound that was a combination of 50s and 60s dance music and surf rock, and the unusual guitar-string tunings utilized by Ricky Wilson. Although a clear part of said movement, their music was more experimental than most new wave groups, indulging in all manner of odd vocal and synthesizer effects. The B-52's created a quirky dance vibe that became very popular and their tours have been successful for decades.
