I'm lying in a 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 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, nd he donates his sight to science I booked into a private ward, I realise that 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 across the eyes I wish to see no more The eye receives the messages and sends it 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 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
