V1
A guy like me should be set behind a desk
Nudging papers down the hall
A quiet life, a simple nest
Two cars, suburban Montreal
V2
Well I found something else gonna dedicate myself
As long as it’s ok with you
The things I’ll do for love
Rougher than the devil true
C
But I see stars through your eyes
But I see stars through your eyes
V3
Fighting’s what I do
Protection’s what I am
Empty my mind for the motion
And I’ll knock ‘em to the Rio Grande
V4
Well Godard and Laraque
Never had a chance like this
If the league thought I’d just lay down
It’s your pride that I’d miss
C
Cause I see stars through your eyes
Cause I see stars through your eyes
Br
Never seen a light like that before
I’ll be your fighting Doukhobor
I’d wrestle God to get one more
Stumbling backwards to your door
[solo]
V5
I’ve been beaten bad it’s true
Couldn’t even feel my toes
Bruises piled on my face
Circling wagons round my nose
V6
Leaning hard against your bed
Dawn has miles still to go
And when your breathing changes I know that you’re asleep
Little girl your daddy is aglow
C
And I see stars through your eyes
And I see stars through your eyes
