Eyesore Lyrics

Lyric discussion by underwires 

Cover art for Eyesore lyrics by Women

I took these lyrics and compared to live versions of the song like the levis show and pitchfork's special, and came up with these refinements.

(spilt) and heat consume both of the lights They were flashing like an echo pale Gradually they lost our information Sickly and ungracious, you turn to dirt

But those cruel tricks could not avoid Me loving you or not I just could not Tell against your will Give out your number now

We were sneaking in to the aquarium (cold knees / cold beach) in your sleep we left a trail This compared to (being) would be a mistake Watered down and replaced without a tail

But those cruel tricks could not avoid Me loving you or not I just could not Tell against your will Give out your number now

overboard ahead of me you're not lying next to me just below the swaying palms hidden by a bank machine

I'm pretty sure it is aquarium, also pretty certain about the whole last stanza, 'gradually', 'ahead of me', and 'swaying'

some versions have additional lines in the outro including:

i can feel it in my teeth i can see you at my pier

Lyric Correction

Actually, listening to the pitchfork one again, I kind of lean towards "neck grown pale", because I definitely hear an r. At the same time, I'm unsure of "like" in that verse.

Yeah, a friend and I had done the same thing using the Pitchfork video and the CBCR sessions. The first verse you have is right on barring the parenthetical, but I feel the second verse we have is closer. The outro is probably right.
