drowner

words ) David Young 1998

My sad eyes don't wander
I didn't see the biker go under
Gasoline the trucks in the heather burning clean
My sad eyes don't wander

All the fat guys go insane
as all the conspiracies and paranoid schemes
of the self-help groups and the car-wash girls dream
in this town we watch the hell go down and down

...through these eyes you and i, through these eyes we seem so alive...

My sad eyes are sure
I can't see electricity go through you
Forgot the line in the joke forgot I knew her she's part of me
My sad eyes are sure

All my love has gone to waste
I saw the check-out girls float away
and housewives burn in protest at the state
in this town they watch the hell go down and down

...through these eyes you and i, through these eyes we seem so alive...

for a while, for a while i feel like flying into space dressed like amanda i'll escape someday
cause i'm tired of the world...it's coming down now

[break]

...through these eyes you and i, through these eyes we seem so alive...
