White Eyes
Electric Six - Kill
Living in the basement and losing my mind
Smoking mother nature until I go blind
And if you live long enough you're bound to see it all
take the girlie apparition in my hall
Shaking her finger and looking at me
But there's something not right about the way she sees
“everybody here gonna have white eyes”
Under three pairs of glasses there's some glass
Now a week in the country is just what I need
It gets so quiet I can hear myself bleed
And there's a moon on the mountain
And I still couldn't tell you how that ghost girl sees
She seems to be committing an optical crime
She is a spectral spectacle looking at me all the time
“everybody here gonna have white eyes”
And if you've got those baby blues
get ready to kiss 'em goodbye
Things are no longer what they might seem
When her freight train picks up its head of steam
There's no clear line between death and dream and the ferocious haze of love
Now the gates are swinging open
And I can hear the choir start singing their tune
As I take my last steps toward that guiding light
I can hear that ghost laughing as my eyeballs turn white
“everybody here gonna have white eyes”
It ain't until you lose your sight that you know just what it means to see
