Where Have You Been? Lyrics

What does it mean when a man's eyes turn black
When you're making love?
What does it mean when a man's eyes turn black?
Tell me 'cause I never seen something quite scared me like that

I saw darkness where I should have seen light
And it wasn't the beautiful darkness of night
But a thing of a kind that would cause a fright
I saw darkness where I should have seen light

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Same as it means when a prince's eyes turn white
Sitting by his door in the midnight
Tin-foil on his windows 'cause he can't take light
And it wasn't the beautiful wisdom of light
But a white of a kind that would give you a fright
Colour all gone, no iris in sight
I saw darkness where I should have seen light

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Same when the friend of the prince spikes your smoke
Hoping to make you a mess and a joke
But you never were his, you never were his
No matter what he did

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen

Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Eyes more frightening I've never seen
What do they want with me?
What do they want with me?
