Electric Six - White Eyes Lyrics






Living in the basement and losing my mind
Smoking mother nature until I go blind
And if you live long enough you're bound to see it all
For example, take the girlie apparition in my hall
Shaking her finger and looking at me,
But there's something not right about the way she sees

She got white eyes
She say everybody here gonna have white eyes...
She got white eyes
...unless
Under three pairs of glasses there's some glass, some glass, some glass

Now a week in the country is just what I need
It gets so quiet I can hear myself bleed
And there's a moon on the mountain
A wind through the trees
And I still couldn't tell you how that ghost girl sees
She seems to be committing an optical crime
She is a spectral spectacle looking at me all the time

With white eyes
She say everybody here gonna have white eyes...
She got white eyes
...When they die
And if you've got those baby blues, baby, get ready to kiss 'em goodbye.

Things are no longer what they seem
When her freight train picks up its head of steam
There's no clear line between death and dream and the ferocious haze of love.

Now the gates are swinging open
And I'm coming through
And I can hear the choir start singing their tune
As I take my last steps toward that guiding light
I can hear that ghost laughing as my eyeballs turn white

I got white eyes
I say everybody here gonna have white eyes...
I got white eyes
...like me
It ain't until you lose your sight that you know just what it means to see.

  1. T.... U....

    New retro wave before it was cool

  2. N.... I....

    what a song. Excellent Six.

  3. P.... S....

    Best band ever. If you disagree I'll fight you. You have to agree on my terms though. We dress as flamingos and only wooden stakes.

    P.... S....

    PINK flamingos, mind you.

    P.... S....

    In my front yard

  4. M.... T....

    GREAT SONG , VIDEO IS A BIT ON THE BORING SIDE.........

  5. P.... ....

    Best song on the album imo.  It has soul, the mood is perfect, is incredibly catchy, and all the musicians are at their best.

  6. T.... C....

    Exactly 98% of viewers "liked" this video.

  7. E.... ....

    This song, Steal Your Bones and Escape From Ohio are some of the absolute best E6 songs. This album rocks. It may not be quite as good as Fire or I Shall Exterminate.... but it's on par with Switzerland and Senor Smoke and I'd say a bit better than Flashy.

  8. T.... ....

    1 dislike. someone saw 62 likes and thought "I need to spoil this rating". ffs :D

  9. R.... ....

    that one person is the only person who doesn't have White Eyes!

  10. D.... ....

    1 person has no taste!

  11. F.... ....

    I think KILL is sitting right next to FIRE, with every song being plain awesome.

  12. S.... W....

    Does anyone else think KILL is their best album? Pretty much everysong on the album could be a hit if if got the exposure in my opinion.

  13. 3.... ....

    @longfootbuddy am new to e6 any albums i should try out

  14. F.... ....

    only song I like from this album

  15. Z.... ....

    Herobrine?

  16. C.... C....

    @jimvonmoon KILL is right up there with Fire, it's their best since Switzerland

  17. h.... ....

    Best song on the album! And for the last few years!

    Miami vice drums and keys for the win!

  18. j.... ....

    This song is definitely the best from KILL, it is real cool. But that album is still FAR FAR worse than Fire. Unfortunately.

  19. C.... C....

    WHITE EYES!!!!!!

  20. j.... p....

    new album kicks arse!!
