Lyrics of
Eyes without a face

Eyes Without a Face is a song by Billy Idol, co-written with guitarist Steve Stevens, and is one of Idols most well-known tracks, noted for its melodic smoothness and the use of female backing vocals in the chorus. The lyrics discuss disillusionment and the quest for authenticity. The title is a reference to the 1960 French film Les Yeux Sans Visage, which inspired Idol after watching it during a sleepless night on tour.

I'm all out of hope One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home Don't call me on the phone To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive It's easy to tease But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

 I spend so much time believing all the lies to keep the dream alive
 Now it makes me sad It makes me mad at truth For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

 Now I close my eyes And I wonder why I don't despise
 Now all I can do Is love what was once So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes I'd better realize

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face And now it's getting worse
