Grabs you by the tail

With eyes wide open

For the first time
Wondering what comes next

All the gun-for-hire poets

With your hair all in a mess
And you're dreamin'
And the trickle down schemes

Your heart has spoken
And you're dreamin'
With eyes wide open
Half way up the trail
And you're standing in the doorway
Yes, it's dark in the trees
You in all your glory
And you're dreamin'
And the band is whistling Dixie
With eyes wide open
Just to drown out the roar
Your heart has spoken
And you're dreamin'
As this bitter beauty
Your heart has spoken
You're dreamin'
For the first time
Of this new dark day
For the first time
Splitting at the seams
And the Cracker Jack box prizes

Your heart has spoken
How long will you hesitate?
And you're dreamin'
With eyes wide open
Yeah, that's the sound and the fury
And some wounds never heal
Your heart has spoken
And you're dreamin'
For its sentimental sake
With eyes wide open
As the bombs hit the ground
For the first time
Your heart has spoken

With eyes wide open
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
Who try to sing so loud

All the penny wishes
