Beady Eyes On The Horizon Lyrics - Let Live And Let Ghosts - Jukebox The Ghost

There's a dead man hanging, slumped over the steering wheel of an interstate 

Runaway bursting into flames 

And the devil was gently breathing, sleeping face-down in my 

Apartment, and like all his friends I'm growing tired of his games... 

And there's a homeless man arranging his hands, grooving to the beat 

Radiating from a police scanner, who said "The air was feeling good to 

Me, just as cool and ripe as air can be," and a woman who sincerely 

Believes in UFOs and who can blame her when the stars are hanging 

Overhead, dangling by a thread, floating ten thousand feet off the ground... 

(This was a story told to me when I was just the age of 17, one which 

God himself dictated to me, he said, "This is how all this shits gonna 

Be when I blow your little planet into smithereens." It haunted my 

Dreams like an accident on reply on a TV screen.)

She sees faces in her dreams--strange machines she'd never seen 

Blueprints of submarines to reassemble in a time of dire need 

And there were preachers in the desert, waving to the crowd 

Dictating seven angry letters from a man up in the clouds 

And there were 27 soldiers telling 27 lies 

And a hole inside a hurricane with a pair of beady eyes 

A pair of beady eyes looking down onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round 

Because they all will want a front seat when shit starts going down 

Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around! 

There were strangers in the subway and men in limousines making deals and 

Swapping photographs of cans of gasoline, and there are no angels in the woodwork 

Or devils on the ground, and they are looking through a hurricane's tectonic wall of 

Sound and a man who smokes his cigarettes the other way around and she is looking 

In behind him from inside a wall of sound and she is dancing with the neon because 

The air is feeling good against her arms and legs and fingertips are measuring the 

Distance in the spaces in between me and you and all your friends when there's no 

Time to load a weapon and no time to make amends and people frozen in their tracks 

Staring at the sky at a hole inside a hurricane revealing... 

Photos 

A pair of beady eyes! 

A pair of beady eyes looking down onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round 

Because they all will want a front seat when shit starts going down 

Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around! 

This is not a test, this is the real thing... 

This is not a test, this is the real thing...
