Shield Your Eyes

(álbum: Etc. - 2002)

There was a sun once
It lit the whole damn sky
It kept everything
Everything alive
And there was a man once
He looked it straight in the eye
He saw everything
Everything. He went blind

The truth burns bright
There's too much there sometimes
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds
Best to keep your eyes
Stare at the sidewalk lines
Let lies lie, don't let them shine
Let them shine, don't let them shine

The blind man staggers
And he grabs at his eyes
He can't do anything
Everything is a lie
Now he sits around
And he stares at the walls
He can't do anything
Anything at all

The truth burns bright
There's too much there sometimes
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds
Best to keep your eyes
Stare at the sidewalk lines
Let lies lie, don't let them shine
Let them shine, don't let them shine

Shield your eyes from all this misery
Come along. Come along
