The Oculist
The Oculist saw potential
And your vision could prevail
You met with him late last week
He awaits your next appointment
You hope that he will see to it
Not one detail is left behind
You say, "doctor please, be gentle"
"We are dealing with my eyes"
They'll bring you some drugs with warm water
They are meant to sedate you
They'll talk to you like you are stupid
And that would enrage you
The wave of cool confusion shocks through the mind
The nurse closed the door, and turned off the lights
The instant he makes his incision
Strapped back into his chair
The objective is the vision
And you know he does not care about
The fact that the drugs didn't work and you're still not asleep
Your mother's been phoning for hours, but it's still not complete
The pain of resolution shocks through the eyes
I've hid from doubt for much too long of my life
They say you lose it when you get old
I hope I never know
I hope I never know
I hope I never know
Lose it when you get old
I hope I never know
I hope I never know
And your vision could prevail
You met with him late last week
He awaits your next appointment
You hope that he will see to it
Not one detail is left behind
You say, "doctor please, be gentle"
"We are dealing with my eyes"
They'll bring you some drugs with warm water
They are meant to sedate you
They'll talk to you like you are stupid
And that would enrage you
The wave of cool confusion shocks through the mind
The nurse closed the door, and turned off the lights
The instant he makes his incision
Strapped back into his chair
The objective is the vision
And you know he does not care about
The fact that the drugs didn't work and you're still not asleep
Your mother's been phoning for hours, but it's still not complete
The pain of resolution shocks through the eyes
I've hid from doubt for much too long of my life
They say you lose it when you get old
I hope I never know
I hope I never know
I hope I never know
Lose it when you get old
I hope I never know
I hope I never know
