Eyes Wide Open Lyrics

Eyes wide open all the time
Just like a drug store in the city
Where she walks the streets at night
Time keeps ticking like the ocean through a sieve
Ever on ever forward in a march

Hallelujah
She's one for the money, two for the show
Time to go back to life
Back to dreams without tears
She's saving what she killed
She built herself a room
To spin around her womb

She's saying good bye bye
To the world now
She's saying good bye bye bye
To the world now

Life is heavy now
Mistakes have come to call her
Always close and dear but never far behind
Floating just above the surface
Of their graves their nightmares wait
But come again when she wakes

Hallelujah
She's one for the money, two for the show
Time to go back to life
Back to dreams without tears
She's saving what she killed
She built herself a room
To spin around her womb

She's saying good bye bye bye
To the world now
She's saying good bye bye bye
To the world now
She's saying good bye bye
To the world now
She's saying good bye bye bye
To the world now
She's saying good bye bye
To the world now
She's saying good bye bye bye
To the world now

Eyes wide open all the time
Just like a drug store in the city
Where she walks the streets at night
