The Final Cut Lyrics

The Final Cut lyrics

through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes 

i can barely define the shape of this moment in time 

and far from flying high in clear blue skies 

i'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where i hide



if you negotiate the minefield in the drive 

and beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes 

and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall 

dial the combination. open the priesthole 

and if i'm in i'll tell you what's behind the wall



there's a kid who had a big hallucination 

making love to girls in magazines 

he wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith 

could anybody love him 

or is it just a crazy dream



and if i show you my dark side 

will you still hold me tonight 

and if i open my heart to you 

and show you my weak side 

what would you do 

would you sell your story to rolling stone 

would you take the children away 

and leave me alone 

and smile in reassurance 

as you whisper down the phone 

would you send me packing 

or would you take me home



thought i oughta bare my naked feelings 

thought i oughta tear the curtain down 

i held the blade in trembling hands 

prepared to make it but just then the phone rang 

i never had the nerve to make the final cut
