AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD - Pictures Of An Only Child lyrics

rate me

Bright all the eyes of the family on the other side<br />

From an only child for the first fourteen years of life<br />

All the pictures they were never seen and never heard from<br />

<br />

I'm standing with Eric and Mom outside of Taj Mahal<br />

Convinced that I am gonna be a writer and a movie star<br />

I've a picture of dad here sitting, hair down to the ground<br />

Bright all the eyes of the family now dead and gone<br />

<br />

We've played games of fate and chance<br />

We were caught and made to dance<br />

Sold our souls to slavery<br />

Lost our way and prayed for death<br />

<br />

I took the pictures and the camera, dropped them in the sand<br />

I wore a Micky Mouse hat on that day, Disneyland<br />

I was crying at the camera, lying about my life<br />

Bright all the eyes of the family, bright all the eyes<br />

<br />

We've played games of fate and chance<br />

We were caught and made to dance<br />

Sold our souls to slavery<br />

Lost our way and prayed for death<br />

<br />

Bright all the eyes of the family on the other side
