Gary Gilmore's Eyes

I'm lying in a hospital
I'm pinned against the bed
A stethoscope upon my eye
against my head
The feeling of the bandages night
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
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

The doctors are all avoiding me
confused
I listen to my earphones
And catch the evening news
A murderer's been killed
And he's left his to science
I'm booked into a private ward and I realise I must be
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

I smash the light in anger
Push my bed against the door
I close my lids and cross the eyes
And wish to see no more
The irises messages that get sent to the brain
stimulae people seem the same
When looking through
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

Gary don't need his eyes to see
Gary and his eyes have parted company
