Ativan Eyes Lyrics - Brutalist Bricks - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

The industry's out of touch 

The means of production are now in the hands of the workers 

But I still want to be guided by your expert hands 

Oh, lay your expert hands on me 

And I, I would listen while you played me through my fears 

And I, I would whisper just to make you come near 

And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay with mirrors 

Oh I, I want your hands here 

The new millennium's tough 

For some more than others a ridiculous understatement 

But I still want to be gazed on by your Ativan eyes 

Oh, cast an eye upon me 

'Cause I'd sit and write to you about all this and nothing 

And I, I would give it all to give up all but one thing 

And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in 

Oh I, I want your eyes here 

I feel danger growing 

A storm's dropping branches in my path 

Only danger where I'm going 

Will you be a stranger when I get back? 

We strive to survive causing least suffering possible 

'The Flux of Pink Indians', gave me words for that 

But I still want your heart beating on mine 

But, oh, have I been beating on your heart? 

'Cause I, I would listen while you played me through my fears 

And I, I would whisper just to make you come near 

And I'd watch every gesture while you play the Kay with mirrors 

Oh I, I want your hands here 

And I'd try and talk to you about all this and nothing 

And I still give it all to give up all but just this one thing 

And I'm so sick of cynics and I want something to trust in 

Oh I, I want your eyes here, I want your eyes here 

Ativan eyes, dear
