I'm lying in the hospital 

I'm pinned against the bed 

A stethoscope upon my heart 

A hand against my head 

They're peeling off the bandages 

I'm wincing in the light 

The nurse is looking anxious 

And she's quivering with fright 



I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes 

Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes 



The doctors are avoiding me 

My vision is confused 

I listen to my earphones 

And I catch the evening news 

A murderer's been killed 

and he donates his sight to science 

I'm looked into a private ward 

I realise that I must be 



Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes 



I smash the light in anger 

Push my bed against the door 

I close my lids across the eyes 

And wish to see no more 

The eyes receives the messages 

And sends them to the brain 

No guarantee the stimuli 

Must be perceived the same 



When looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes 

Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes 



Gary don't need his eyes to see 

Gary and his eyes are parted company
