Lyrics
Gary Gilmore's Eyes
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.
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
The doctors are avoiding me
My visions 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 eye receives the messages
And sends them to the brain
No guarentee the stimuli
Must be perceived the same
When looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Gary don't need his eyes to see
Gary and his eyes have parted company
