Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Ativan Eyes lyrics

rate me

The industry's out of touch

The means of production are now in the hands of the workers

But I still want to be guided by your expert hands

Oh, lay your expert hands on me

And I, I would listen while you played me through my fears

And I, I would whisper just to make you come near

And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay with mirrors

Oh I, I want your hands here

The new millennium's tough

For some more than others a ridiculous understatement

But I still want to be gazed on by your Ativan eyes

Oh, cast an eye upon me

'Cause I'd sit and write to you about all this and nothing

And I, I would give it all to give up all but one thing

And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in

Oh I, I want your eyes here

I feel danger growing

A storm's dropping branches in my path

Only danger where I'm going

Will you be a stranger when I get back?

We strive to survive causing least suffering possible

'The Flux of Pink Indians', gave me words for that

But I still want your heart beating on mine

But, oh, have I been beating on your heart?

'Cause I, I would listen while you played me through my fears

And I, I would whisper just to make you come near

And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay with mirrors

Oh I, I want your hands here

And I'd try and talk to you about all this and nothing

And I still give it all to give up all but just this one thing

And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in

Oh I, I want your eyes here, I want your eyes here

Ativan eyes, dear
