warm bodies I sense
are not machines that can only make money
past perfect tense
words for a feeling and all I've discovered
I'll be along son
with medicine supposed to designed to
make you high
I'll be along son
with words for a feeling and all I've discovered
old bad eyes
old bad eyes
old bad eyes
on loneliness comes
go see the foreman go see the profiteer
on loneliness drives
we're takin' our time movin' shit for
this holy slime
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes, almighty fear
the shepherd won't leave me alone
he's in my face and I
the shepherd of my days
and I want you here by my heart
and my head, I can't start till I'm dead
are not machines that can only make money
past perfect tense
words for a feeling and all I've discovered
I'll be along son
with medicine supposed to designed to
make you high
I'll be along son
with words for a feeling and all I've discovered
old bad eyes
old bad eyes
old bad eyes
on loneliness comes
go see the foreman go see the profiteer
on loneliness drives
we're takin' our time movin' shit for
this holy slime
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes, almighty fear
the shepherd won't leave me alone
he's in my face and I
the shepherd of my days
and I want you here by my heart
and my head, I can't start till I'm dead

i've heard many different literal explanations for this song (i.e.: the factories of york, caterpillar and/or harley davidson; even waco, with my main man dave koresh), but they all have basically the same metaphorical meaning. i sort of relate this song to dave matthews band's "ants marching," because it portrays the same monotonous, regimented life to which ed alludes. the lyrics are actually fairly depressing in that sense. the only reprieve ed suggests is "medicine supposed to...make you high." very frighteningly, ed lastly says "i can't start till i'm dead." conceivably, there is really nothing he could do once dead...exempting, of course, unprovable religious beliefs. regardless, my opinion on the matter is that everything will be started for this subject, once given his freedom from the third-person tyranny he is living
