[EN] Gary Gilmore's Eyes

  • Gary Gilmore's Eyes
    I'm lying in the hospital

    I'm pinned against the bed

    A stethoscope upon my heart

    A hand against my head

    They're peeling off the bandages

    I'm wincing in the light

    The nurse is looking anxious

    And she's quivering with fright


    I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

    Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes


    The doctors are avoiding me

    My vision is confused

    I listen to my earphones

    And I catch the evening news

    A murderer's been killed

    and he donates his sight to science

    I'm looked into a private ward

    I realise that I must be


    Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes


    I smash the light in anger

    Push my bed against the door

    I close my lids across the eyes

    And wish to see no more

    The eyes receives the messages

    And sends them to the brain

    No guarantee the stimuli

    Must be perceived the same


    When looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

    Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes


    Gary don't need his eyes to see

    Gary and his eyes are parted company
