From the recording Down With the Ship
I wanted to write a song with one chord. I guess I’d already done it, but I like the idea. So there it is.
Lyrics
When you are moving in the daylight I can see your yellow eyes. When you are running in the twilight I can see your yellow eyes. And you go to your homes and you look and you see the faces and you don’t recognize a single one of them. Well that’s the time when I can see your eyeballs glowing like a flame. Said you’re alone, we’re all alone anymore. Said you’re alone but you don’t feel alone so much these days. Say you want to wake up and find yourself in the same place you put yourself the night before. I say I don’t, and do I mean it? Only you know for sure. When you are talking in your sleep then I can see your yellow fangs. You slit my throat when you smile, and I don’t mind. I go to sleep dead each night and am surprised to always wake up again. The spirit is in the flesh and the flesh is in the dirt and the dirt is in the plants is in the plants is in the animals, and you are taking over. You say you are taking over. And who am I to deny that?
