Your Eyes Were Open Lyrics

Oh doctor help me please 

I`m dying, crippled with disease 

My Body`s aching limb to limb 

My bones are glowing through my skin 

When I look up into black skies 

Mushrooms grow before my eyes 

Doctor save me if you can 

I`m a desperate man (repeat) 

 

As he lay thinking he was dead 

A burning pain short through his head 

He looked into those tired old eyes 

Heard forty years of anguished cries 

And this doctor said 

 

Your eyes were open 

But you shut them with your mouth 

You always heard 

But you weren`t doing the screaming 

You`d only just woken 

But Already, you`d forgotten, 

What you were dreaming 

 

Such a sad case 

The failure of a human race
