"Eyes Wide Open" lyrics

Eyes Wide Open

One, two, three, four

All these visions in my head
Shoot the gunner baby for the watershed
Some are live and some are dead
Makes no difference when they're in your head
Head

Keep the door open a crack
So I can see then when they attack
Some are white and some are black
Makes no difference when they're on your back

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop trying
Cause the day is dying dying, dying
With my eyes wide open

Kept the sheep jumping the fence
So I can see deepest when I'm feeling tense
Disbelief hung in suspense
I die down with my own defense

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop trying
Cause the day is dying, dying, dying
With my eyes wide open

All these visions in my head
Shoot the gunner baby for the watershed
Some are live and some are dead
Makes no difference when they're in your head

And I can't stop crying
And I can't stop trying
Cause the day is dying, dying, dying
With my eyes wide open
