Richard Thompson - Mingus Eyes lyrics

What a thin disguise

Brando mumble

Mingus eyes

Was a time she fell

But then she got wise

Brando mumble

Mingus eyes

Never had the squint of James Dean

or the Stanislavsky tears

Or the rebel hunch that kills

Or the smile that slowly disappears

What a fool I was

What a thin disguise

Brando mumble

Mingus eyes
