Lyrics
Sons Of The Burgess Shale
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One makes you laugh
The second one cuts you in half
I’m leaving here tonight as a shade
The soldiers and the lights and the arcade
What if you look into my eyes?
I’ve thrown out the circle for you
What’s the trouble with me?
My eyes are staring out but they don’t see
You are the message
I only realize it now that I’m not
Borne of the stuff of the earth
Of the ground
But you’re never gonna feel the same way I do
Cause we love violence
What if you look into my eyes?
I’ve thrown out the circle for you
How will you know what to do?
When everyone’s looking at you?
