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) En masse
Under three pairs of glasses
It's glass, on glass, on 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
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
It's 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'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
