Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians - One Long Pair of Eyes lyrics

In the tower, the lover sighs
"Good sir knight
Please take my eyes - I've used them"
"Doctor, Doctor, I'm on fire!"
"Oh, I'm sad to hear that
Squire - we're closing"
She snuffs you out like silk and
Pours you out like milk
But just before the dawn appears
Stealing all the blue away
And just before all your perspectives change
Isn't it strange?

On the black Fellini sails
Tattered rags that hangs on nails reminds me
You, the mistress of your chair I
The sergeant of your hair - you find me
You turn me on like light
A silver liquid light
That emanates inside of you
Decorates the room around you
Just before the curtains part for
Dawn and everything's gone

She had one long pair of eyes
She had one long pair of eyes between her
One long pair of eyes so she could see you

Oh

On the lone Norwegian shore lovers
Weep for evermore in evening
With the clouds above their heads
Go back to their lonesome beds and leave them
She falls on you like rain
When will she fall again?
Oh just before the dawn appears
Draining all the blue away
And just before all your perspectives change
Isn't that strange?

She had one long pair of eyes
She had one long pair of eyes between her
One long pair of eyes
She had one long pair of eyes between her
One long pair of eyes
Oh, she had one long pair of eyes between her
One long pair of eyes so she could see you

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
