Come Pull a Sheet Over My Eyes

Wide Awake icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 10 from Revelations LP by Audioslave icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

You can look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve hundred people dead, or left to die
Follow the leaders
Were it an eye for an eye, we’d all be blind, deaf or murdered
Of this I’m sure in this uncertain time

Come pull a sheet over my eyes so I can sleep tonight, despite what I’ve seen today

I find you guilty of the crime of sleeping at a time when you should have been wide awake

Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you’re somewhere trading lives for oil as if the whole world were blind

Come pull a sheet over my eyes so I can sleep tonight, despite what I’ve seen today

I’ve found you guilty of the crime of sleeping at a time when you should have been wide awake

Laugh and say I’m green
I’ve seen things you’ll never see
Talk behind my back
I’m off the beaten track
I’ll take on anyone
Ain’t scared of a bloody nose
Drink until I drop down with one eye on my clothes

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it
Got a bet there?
I’ll meet it
Getting high?
You can’t beat it

Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim
When I’m pilled you don’t notice him
He only comes out when I drink my gin

You say she’s a virgin, but I’m gonna be the first in
Her fellah’s gonna kill me?
Oh fucking will he?
I’m seeing double
Don’t miss me if you can
There’s gonna be trouble when she chooses her man

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it
Got a bet there?
I’ll meet it
Getting high?
You can’t beat it

Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim
When I’m pilled you don’t notice him
He only comes out when I drink my gin

Is it me?
For a moment
     The stars are falling
     The heat is rising
     The past is calling

I’m going back soon
Home to get the baboon who cut up my eye
Tore up my Levis
I’m feeling restless
Bring another score around
Maybe something stronger
Could really hold me down

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it

Got a bet there?
I’ll meet it
Getting high?
You can’t beat it

What is it?
I’ll take it
Who is she?
I’ll rape it

Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim
When I’m pilled you don’t notice him
He only comes out when I drink my gin

Is it me, for a moment?
     The stars are falling
     The heat is rising
     The past is calling

Don’t believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don’t believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that I’m in love with you

Don’t believe me if I tell you that I wrote this song for you
There just might be some other silly pretty girl I’m singing it to

Don’t believe a word
For words are so easily spoken
Your heart is just like that promise: made to be broken

Don’t believe a word because words can tell lies
And lies are no comfort when there are tears in your eyes

Don’t believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don’t believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that I’m in love with you

Don’t believe a word
