And the air says life is tight
When she flies all I know
And if you're asking why
She said "Look into the evil eye again"
Feel time running through my hands
Days are short and lost and found
And all I know is life begins
And if you're asking why
There wasn't a thing to say
And if you're asking why
It's all for nothin'
And if you're asking why
And if you're asking why
And the sun is burning bright
She said "Look into the evil eye again"
It's all for nothin'
It's all the same
It's all to blame
Snakes to skin, blood to drink
Please come alive for us alone
Through silent seas of sand
We stood on the ancient bones
As we drove fast to the desert way
When she shows me the endless lies
It's all for nothin'
And the night is long at the burial ground
With our sacrifice we atoned
When are you coming down
And if you're asking why
My insides hear me cry
Through silent seas of sand
In my mind the day is dry
She said "Look into the evil eye again"
It's all the same
The car of chrome reflects the sky
It's all to blame
Yes, the world you see is spinning round
She said "Look into the evil eye again"
It's all for nothin'
When engines whirl life begins
And my brain says that someone dies
Skulls can grin, the vultures spin
She said "Look into the evil eye again"
It's all for nothin'
It's all the same
It's all for nothin'
For a world now lost in stone
She said "Look into the evil eye again"
It's all to blame
