Dungeons For Eyes Lyrics - Still - Richard Thompson

He's smiling at me 

The man with the blood on his hands 

The man with the snakes in his shoes 

Am I supposed to love him? 

He's smiling at me 

The hero who chained up the dogs 

Mephistopheles shorn of his tail 

Am I supposed to love him? 

Am I supposed to shake his hand? 

Souls whisper to me 

Souls torn from bodies 

Souls lost and wandering 

Smile that smile 

But eyes don't lie 

It's black in there, and bloody 

Dungeons for eyes 

He's got that smell 

The musty old smell of a priest 

The damp and mold of neglect 

The smell of fresh earth dug over 

But how we forgive 

Old rivalries half-forgot 

We smile as best as we can 

But I can't let it go 

But I can't let it go 

I can't forgive you, I can't forgive me 

Souls whisper to me 

Souls torn from bodies 

Souls lost and wandering 

Smile that smile 

But eyes don't lie 

It's black in there, and bloody 

Dungeons for eyes 

Dungeons for eyes
