Blue eyes

You terrify the land
You are pestle and mortar
Your first love's new order, mother nature's sun
King of the everglades
Population one
I write poetry for myself
I write poetry for myself

(oh, baby)

You're a permanent figure of jacked up sorrow
I want you to love me
You send me a coffin of roses
I guess that's the way that things go these days

Take pills, for instance
I heard they're no good for you
I won't and i never will
She said..."i won't and i never will.
I won't and i never will.
I won't and i never will.
I won't and i never will..."

Blue eyes...

Oh, baby can't you see, they had it in for me
They had it in for me, they had it in for me.
"i won't and i never will..."
Oh, baby can't you see they had it in for me,
They had it in for me...

Blue eyes...

I sent a message in a bottle to the press
It said, "don't be ashamed or disgusted with yourselves"
"don't be ashamed or disgusted with yourselves"
Don't be ashamed or disgusted with yourselves.
I've thumbed through the books on your shelves.
I've thumbed through the books on your shelves.
I've thumbed through the books on your shelves.
I've thumbed through the books on your shelves..."
