Mad Eyes: the Measure of a Pretty Woman Part 1

Mad eyes, 
Green with envy, 
Blue with lust, 
They watch as she moves across. 

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust.
She sits and gently crosses her legs.

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
A man sings a song of melancholy.

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
Another hums to a tune from Marvin Gaye.

Mad eyes, 
Green with envy
Blue with lust,
A man whistles, an applause.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy 
Blue with lust,
None stands to converse.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
She still sits alone, waiting.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy 
Blue with lust,
Time passes, they still stare.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy 
Blue with lust,
She walks on out, alone again. 

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
They think, should have and could have.
