At The Drive In This Night Has Opened My Eyes Lyrics

This Night Has Opened My Eyes Lyrics

In a river, the color of lead

Immerse the baby's head

Wrap her up in the News Of The World

Dump her on a doorstep, girl



This night has opened my eyes

And I will never sleep again



You kicked and cried like a bullied child

A grown man of twenty-five

He said he'd cure your ills

But he didn't and he never will



So, so save your life

Because you've only got one



The dream has gone

But the baby is real

Oh, you did a good thing



She could have been a poet

Or, she could have been a fool

Oh, you did a bad thing



And I'm not happy

And I'm not sad



A shoeless child on a swing

Reminds you of your own again

She took away your troubles

Oh, but then again she left pain



So, so save your life

'Cause you've only got one



The dream has gone

But the baby is real

Oh, you did a good thing



She could have been a poet

Or she could have been a fool

Oh, you did a bad thing



And I'm not happy

And I'm not sad



You did a bad thing

You did a bad thing



And I'm not happy

And I'm not sad



You did a bad thing

You did a bad thing



And I'm not happy

And I'm not sad



You did a bad thing

You did a bad thing



And I'm not happy

And I'm not sad
