i've seen the eyes
of the livin
and the dyin'
and the died
the eyes
of the tried's
& the why's
the eyes
of the wise.
hypnotised

tranced
danced
perchanced
enhanced by
the eyes
the why's
of life
of death
of poorness
and wealth
the memories
the hopes
the dreams
the schemes
the by all means

i've seen the eyes
of the dyin'
the cryin'
the sighin'
the whyin'
the good-byin'
the do-it-aginners
the new-beginners
the winners
and losers
been screwders'

i've seen it in the eyes
the lost
the cost
the price
the dice
and slice
once or twice
thrice
splice
merge & splerge
purge

in the eyes
all the why's
all the die's
all the good-byes
