Mercury Rev - Lincoln's Eyes Lyrics

Artist: Mercury Rev

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Jonathan Donahue, Sean Mackowiack

What explodes like a fractal, pops like a light bulb
Looks really awful at four in the morning
Moves with a dead stare, coils around your ankles
Fangs long as neckties and strikes without warning?

What implodes like a Zeppelin, cracks like a pavement
Smokes in the basement and knows when your lying
Comes to a dead stop, forgives you like Jesus
Cold as a wind chill with eyes like Abe Lincoln?

What is dark like a birthmark, pulls like a magnet
Male and female and covets like a dragon
Grows to a shark length, contracts to amoeba
Lives in your soul and loves you like I do?

What appears like an angel, stabs like a dagger
Fills you with light and bleeds you of matter
Comes to a dead stop, forgives you like Jesus
Hands you a love only found in the Vedas?

What explodes like a fractal, pops like a light bulb
Strolls in like Joel Gray at four in the morning
Armed with a big nose, fragile as a sea horse
Lives in your soul and loves you like I do?
