Ativan Eyes - Ted Leo and 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 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 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!

And I still want your heart beating on mine

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

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 mirrors

Oh I, I want your hands here

'Cause I’d drive and talk to you about all this and nothing

And I’d 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

Ativan Eyes, Dear
