A Clean Pair of Eyes

Hear me God, I'm on a level Mapping silence, spitting skin Crying, laughing like the devil Before the might of all that is seen I raise my head and wake to dream With a clean pair of eyes Murdered gold and colors splashing Down like blood, like flowing hair Faces melting, airplanes crashing Before the might of all that is true I raise my head to dream anew With a clean pair of eyes A clean pair of eyes Don't need no right or wrong Don't need no disguise No sugar to sweet my tongue A clean pair of eyes Today I need no commentary Today I have no need to speak No explanation necessary Before the might of all that is real I turn my head like coldest steel With a clean pair of eyes A clean pair of eyes Don't need no right or wrong Don't need no disguise No sugar to fix my tongue A clean pair of eyes Liquid air, flags that ripple Tambourine, smoking suns Love that blinds Fear that cripples Before the might of all that is true I turn my head to dream anew With a clean pair of eyes Dreaming in the streets that glisten Dawn that trembles, flesh and grain Dream it Sing it out again Before the might of all that is seen I raise my head and wake to dream Before the might of all to come I turn my head like purest sun Before the might of all that is true I raise my head and dream anew With a clean pair of eyes --- A Clean Pair of Eyes - David Gray
