Electric Six - White Eyes lyrics

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 For example, 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 She got white eyes She say everybody here gonna have white eyes... She got white eyes ...unless Under three pairs of gla**es there's some gla**, some gla**, some gla** 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 A wind through the trees 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 With white eyes She say everybody here gonna have white eyes... She got white eyes ...When they die And if you've got those baby blues, baby, get ready to kiss 'em goodbye. Things are no longer what they seem When her freight train picks up its head of steam There's no clear line between d**h and dream and the ferocious haze of love. Now the gates are swinging open And I'm coming through 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 I got white eyes I say everybody here gonna have white eyes... I got white eyes ...like me It ain't until you lose your sight that you know just what it means to see.
