The Guillotine

When I was born I was baptized
Not too sure what that meant
I guess it was all worth a good try
But I'll believe God's word over men's
Something told me to skip town
Someone told me to leave
Told me to write all these words down
Said the answers are hidden in the trees

And your eyes they shine like the Guillotine
That cut through the heads of a thousand men
Your eyes they soothe like the morphine
That flowed through his veins as he lay in his bed
And your eyes they fly like a car crash
In the dead of the night
And your eyes, darling, go by

I've been looking for hotels
Ones that have the right light
Girl you look like an angel
And just the right kind that I like
I'm running low on excuses
My watch never kept that good time
When everything's just how it's supposed to
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And your eyes they shine like the Guillotine
That cut through the heads of a thousand men
Your eyes they soothe like the morphine
That flowed through his veins as he lay in his bed
And your eyes they fly like a car crash
In the dead of the night
And your eyes, darling, go by
