lyrics

Lazy Eye. The Gecko: Lyrics by Espin Bowder

My lazy eye of governance
Can only see how it affects me
If ever I could see with two
My deep and down would get perspective
The lazy tide brings me to
The other side so uncontested

My lazy eye is watching you
I tell you why, to reassure you
My lazy lies they work against me
And time goes by so unobstructed

I fake the signs to make amends
And follow lines that lie ahead
My lazy eye
I could see this happening for miles, slowly its all shattering
I could see this happening for miles I saw it through my lazy eye

I could see this happening, slowly it’s all shattering
I could see this happening through my lazy eye
I could see this happening for miles, slowly its all shattering
I could see this happening for miles started with a smattering
I could see this happening for miles I saw it through my lazy eye
