I was on my way to a needle factory
Up and coming prospects was a waiting there for me
I was selling my wares three bucks a share

I was walking down, down a rocky road and found
A noisy rising sun and a quietly burning moon
They were standing in line, standing in time
Standing in time waiting for a fantastic time
Standing in line

Like a stallion chasing fear itself
Watching God sit upon his shelf
We were restless, we were restless

The truth is in the eyes of common mortal men
And you can believe it's all in the grief of Satan

The truth is in the eye
The truth is in the eye
The truth is in the eye
The truth is in the eye
The truth is in the eye
The truth is in the eye
And you can feel
