Eyes Wide Open Lyrics

All these visions in my head
shoot the gunner baby for the watershed
some are live and some are dead
makes no diferrence 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 teepers (?) when I'm feeling tense
disbelieve hung in suspense
I die down with my own defence

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 diferrence 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

Can't you just hear'em kreepin...wooh, I love equally the rythm & the lyrics! But since the song is about not being able to fall asleep, I think one of the lines should be "Eiderdown is my own defence".

Reminiscent of Side inn parts no? typical great simple chorus

and its count the sheep but teepers sounds right w/e the hell that is? help please?

is it odd i can imagine line dancing to this? lol

brilliant though

Instead of

'shoot the gunner baby for the watershed'

I'm pretty sure its

'should of gone to bed before the watershed'

makes more sense. =] great song though.
