Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians - One Long Pair Of Eyes lyrics
Your rating:
"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, draining 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 blind me You turn me on like light A silver liquid light That emanates inside of you, decorates the room around and Just before the curtains part for dawn And everything's gone CHORUS She had one long pair of eyes One long pair of eyes between her One long pair of eyes So she could see you 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 it strange? CHORUS -----------------------------------------------------------------
