Eye Shop Heaven

(album: Please Be Honest - 2016)

Duly warned
She had been gazing at a charmer
Eyes call to the snake

Fancy nails
And fattening
A dress
A street of swollen legs

Her pleasant crimson face
Is content

"Eye Shop Heaven"

The gaze falls on
Bargain slips
Do not now keep

The quick candy eyes
A dartboard display
If you look away

You are simply lying
It's slightly strange to say

Cleanly shaven
Out to blow
Money he did not have
Chips fall to a rake

Fleshly pale
Black and blue
Peddlers parking
No one begs

The pearly madhouse whites
At the gates

Of eyeshop heaven
Sized up for market price
Embezzling a snatch

The milk of red eyes
The catch of the day
If you look away

You are simply lying
It's slightly strange to say

You are simply lying...
