0:17If they adorn themselves with crystals
0:20To make them look sharp
0:23Sleep with their hand on a pistol
0:26They're afraid of the dark
0:28Well if it wakes you
0:31Which it has to be known to
0:34Don't be alarmed
0:37Darkness can't do you harm
0:41Fear will hurt you
0:46Outside if wind is beating
0:49A tree to a bed
0:52Don't fear that it might be meeting
0:55Some untimely end
0:57They do what they're supposed to
1:00But they have been known to
1:03Stand strong and tall
1:06Weather it all
1:10Take what you can
1:15Never give orders
1:18Just to be obeyed
1:21Never consider yourself or others
1:23Without knowing that you'll change
1:26It may not surprise you
1:29But pride has been known to
1:32Rise up a storm
1:35Countless lives lost
1:38At the hands of pride and I'll fall
1:45Who'll weep for them
1:46Sometimes I do
1:49I do sometimes
1:51Who weeps for them
1:53Sometimes I do
1:55I do sometimes
1:58You can't see it it might be behind you
2:02Keep those eyes wide
2:04You can't see it it might be behind you
2:08Keep those eyes wide
2:16Don't be impressed
2:18By strong personalities
2:22Sincere words
2:25Are rarely sickly sweet
2:27But if they fool you
2:30Which they have been known to
2:33Don't lose your sight
2:36Know something's not right
2:39And look at the stars
2:44Be weary of being
2:47Given a name
2:50If for some reason
2:53You're not considered the same
2:56Once they name you
2:58They have been known to
3:02Lock you in
3:04Statistical sin
3:08They'd rather ignore
3:16Who'll weep for them
3:18Sometimes I do
3:20I do sometimes
3:22Who weeps for them
3:24Sometimes I do
3:26I do sometimes
3:29You can't see it it might be behind you
3:32Keep your eyes wide
3:35You can't see it it might be behind you
3:39Keep those eyes wide
3:44Keep your eyes on the back of your
3:47Keep your eyes on the back of your
3:50Keep your eyes on the back of your mind
If they adorn themselves with crystals To make them look sharp Sleep with their hand on a pistol They're afraid of the dark Well if it wakes you Which it has to be known to Don't be alarmed Darkness can't do you harm Fear will hurt you Outside if wind is beating A tree to a bed Don't fear that it might be meeting Some untimely end They do what they're supposed to But they have been known to Stand strong and tall Weather it all Take what you can Never give orders Just to be obeyed Never consider yourself or others Without knowing that you'll change It may not surprise you But pride has been known to Rise up a storm Countless lives lost At the hands of pride and I'll fall Who'll weep for them Sometimes I do I do sometimes Who weeps for them Sometimes I do I do sometimes You can't see it it might be behind you Keep those eyes wide You can't see it it might be behind you Keep those eyes wide Don't be impressed By strong personalities Sincere words Are rarely sickly sweet But if they fool you Which they have been known to Don't lose your sight Know something's not right And look at the stars Be weary of being Given a name If for some reason You're not considered the same Once they name you They have been known to Lock you in Statistical sin They'd rather ignore Who'll weep for them Sometimes I do I do sometimes Who weeps for them Sometimes I do I do sometimes You can't see it it might be behind you Keep your eyes wide You can't see it it might be behind you Keep those eyes wide Keep your eyes on the back of your Keep your eyes on the back of your Keep your eyes on the back of your mind
