A Dark Eye Lyrics
In the parking lot where I waited alone
A white bird sat sleeping on the broken pay phone
And up came a black beetle dragging off a green fly
Underneath a parked car and then out of sight
And I felt a dark eye turn its gaze upon me
As if the earth, the earth could see
A dark eye, a dark eye
A dark eye fell on me
In that parking lot where a prairie once grew
And through the tall grass, the buffalo flew
I heard something crying way down below
Where the sewerlines snake around Indian bones
In that parking lot, cars baked in the sun
And somewhere down the road, the pop of a gun
I watched a red ant crawl up my shin
And I felt so sad until it bit my skin
A dark eye, a dark eye
A dark eye fell on me
A white bird sat sleeping on the broken pay phone
And up came a black beetle dragging off a green fly
Underneath a parked car and then out of sight
And I felt a dark eye turn its gaze upon me
As if the earth, the earth could see
A dark eye, a dark eye
A dark eye fell on me
And through the tall grass, the buffalo flew
I heard something crying way down below
Where the sewerlines snake around Indian bones
In that parking lot, cars baked in the sun
And somewhere down the road, the pop of a gun
I watched a red ant crawl up my shin
And I felt so sad until it bit my skin
A dark eye, a dark eye
A dark eye fell on me

i created this account because your lyrics are wrong at my favorite part of this song...
you have, "in that parking lot where a prayer, you once threw"
it's, "in that parking lot where a prairie once grew"
this is the song that got me hooked to this 'criminally over looked duo'.
rennie's lyrics make me shiver through brett's beautiful baritone.
fixed, thx
