"Eyes of a Stranger" came out in 1982. The lyrics describe the combination of attraction and fear. The song ends like how it started, with only drums—but minus the clave or whatever that is. That "pop" is gone.
The chorus:
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
From "sense" to "see," he says twice. From a feeling to something more definite. And then he ends the song with the repetition:
You've got the eyes of a stranger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
The meaning of the line changes with the repetition. What was exotic becomes remote. He at one time sensed the danger, which drew him in; now he merely sees a stranger. The former moves your heartbeat; the latter, your feet.
