Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968 in Rockport, Massachusetts, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. Among her hits include "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone," "Me," "I Am So Ordinary," "I Believe In Love," and the theme to the WB's hit series "Dawson's Creek," "I Don't Want to Wait." Cole released her debut album, Harbinger, in 1994 with Imago Records. She so entranced the industry with her vocals that she was asked to tour as an opening act for Peter Gabriel; she also appeared with Melissa Etheridge to sing a duet on VH1 though she was not well-known at the time. Harbinger featured songs dwelling on Cole's personal experience with discrimination and unhappiness. The songs were musically lush but driven and bleak.

Neitzsche's Eyes Lyrics
Paula Cole
How many times did I have to hear you say to me,
"Self obsessed artist. Center of your universe."
Well I believed your every word,
And I believed you were my god.
Neitzsche's Eyes, Neitzsche's kite,
failed in flight to us
And oh my love.......
Grandmother, mother, and now I see it in myself,
I take on the water until the dam threatens to break
I became a little doll.
My voice became too small.
Neitzsche's Eyes, Neitzsche's kite,
failed in flight to us
And oh my love......I'm shaken
I'm getting down this fantasy
I'm shaken. You were not my superman.
I didn't know just how I felt.
Oh my love, I'm getting down this.
You were not my superman.
I wasn't honest, I tried to philosophize
Only too late did I see
That I wore Neitzsche's Eyes
Now that I step back to see,
I haven't been me.
Neitzsche's Eyes, Neitzsche's kite,
Failed in flight to us.
And oh my love, I'm shaken.
I'm getting down this --
Getting down this,
Getting down this.......
