Electric Six - White Eyes lyrics

rate me

<br>

Living in the basement and losing my mind<br />

Smoking mother nature until I go blind<br />

And if you live long enough you're bound to see it all<br />

For example, take the girlie apparition in my hall<br />

Shaking her finger and looking at me,<br />

But there's something not right about the way she sees<br />

<br />

She got white eyes<br />

She say everybody here gonna have white eyes...<br />

She got white eyes<br />

...unless<br />

Under three pairs of glasses there's some glass, some glass, some glass<br />

<br />

Now a week in the country is just what I need<br />

It gets so quiet I can hear myself bleed<br />

And there's a moon on the mountain<br />

A wind through the trees<br />

And I still couldn't tell you how that ghost girl sees<br />

She seems to be committing an optical crime<br />

She is a spectral spectacle looking at me all the time<br />

<br />

With white eyes<br />

She say everybody here gonna have white eyes...<br />

She got white eyes<br />

...When they die<br />

And if you've got those baby blues, baby, get ready to kiss 'em goodbye.<br />

<br />

Things are no longer what they seem<br />

When her freight train picks up its head of steam<br />

There's no clear line between death and dream and the ferocious haze of love.<br />

<br />

Now the gates are swinging open<br />

And I'm coming through<br />

And I can hear the choir start singing their tune<br />

As I take my last steps toward that guiding light<br />

I can hear that ghost laughing as my eyeballs turn white<br />

<br />

I got white eyes<br />

I say everybody here gonna have white eyes...<br />

I got white eyes<br />

...like me<br />

It ain't until you lose your sight that you know just what it means to see.

<br><br><br><br>
