This Night Has Opened My Eyes Lyrics - At The Drive In

In a river the color of lead 

Immerse a baby's head 

Wrap her up in the News Of The World 

Dump her on a doorstep, girl 

This night has opened my eyes 

And I will never sleep again 

You kicked and cried like a bullied child 

A grown man of twenty-five 

He said he'd cure your ills 

But he didn't and he never will 

So, save your life 

Because you've only got one 

The dream is gone 

But the baby is real 

Oh you did a good thing 

She could have been a poet 

Or, she could have been a fool 

Oh you did a bad thing 

Am I'm not happy 

And I'm not sad 

A shoeless child on a swing 

Reminds you of your own again 

She took away your troubles 

Oh but then again 

She left pain 

So, save your life 

Because you've only got one 

The dream is gone 

But the baby is real 

Oh you did a good thing 

She could have been a poet 

Or, she could have been a fool 

Oh you did a bad thing 

Am I'm not happy 

And I'm not sad
