Thru and Thru Lyrics
No my eyes ain't silver
No, no my eyes ain't blue
When your well it ain't got no water
I don't hate you I pity you
On a saigon night in God's sky
There's a butterfly on your wrist
The flies are stuck to your neck!
You see the... Search planes are out for you!
Better call the neurosurgeon
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go
I said you better call the neurosurgeon
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go
Watch me go
Watch me go
Here I go...
A newborn is coming!
Watch me go...
When I'm at war with the world I turn to you
When I am searching thru the downpour, you melt me
Thru and thru
When I'm at war with the world I turn to you
When I am searching thru the downpour, you melt me
Thru and thru, thru and thru, thru and thru...
Better call the neurosurgeon
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go
I said you better call the neurosurgeon
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go...
Watch me go
Watch me go
Here I go...
A newborn is coming!
Watch me go...
(Live forever)
No, no my eyes ain't blue
When your well it ain't got no water
I don't hate you I pity you
There's a butterfly on your wrist
The flies are stuck to your neck!
You see the... Search planes are out for you!
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go
Watch me go
Here I go...
A newborn is coming!
Watch me go...
When I am searching thru the downpour, you melt me
Thru and thru
When I am searching thru the downpour, you melt me
Thru and thru, thru and thru, thru and thru...
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go
Our dreaming space it is open
Into the hospital I go...
Watch me go
Here I go...
A newborn is coming!
Watch me go...

A warrior/soldier is badly wounded in a (metaphorical) war zone, but pretends (s)he is not. ("No my eyes ain't silver No, no my eyes ain't blue When your well it ain't got no water I don't hate you I pity you")
But then, a voice tells the warrior/soldier the true extent of the situation. ("On a Saigon night in God's sky There's a butterfly on your wrist The flies are stuck to your neck! You see the... Search planes are out for you!")
Whether the person was then taken into an "enemy's" or a "friendly's" hospital via a rescue plane is unclear, but the more important parts follow...
The injury is so difficult it requires a neurosurgeon to fix, but luckily the neurosurgeon succeeds, and thus a new, healthy person emerges from the injury. Whether the warrior/soldier fell in love with the neurosurgeon because of or in spite of the surgery remains unclear.
The (ex?-)warrior/soldier is now able to live forever in spirit (at least), so the neurosurgery must've unlocked something in the brain that was blocking the emergence of a whole new person/entity.
LIVE FOREVER at the end.
Is she really saying neurosurgeon or just surgeon? It's really hard to tell.
