Stay Here & Take Care of the Chickens

I want to see the smile fade from his face
when he looks into those big blue eyes again
Don't do anytrhing today, don't do anything
These ribbons and sections of hair and head
these slimming pills on the stand by the bed
and the phone rings once back on the hotel
Take a look maybe this is the face that will haunt you
maybe these are the eyes that will drive you out of your mind
The spool keeps whirring but the tape has come loose
like a rattlesnake snapping at itself
if you think you can get away with this, you're plain crazy
Help me on my feet and I will make you rich
I'll buy you a coffe I got one coin left
the only chance for us now, is to start over
Take a look maybe this is the face that will haunt you
maybe these are the eyes that will drive you out of your mind
Take a look maybe this is the face that will haunt you
maybe these are the eyes that will drive you out of your mind
those times I was just a crumb
a dot on the crescent blue tip of the thumb
they said "stay here and take care of the chickens"
Take a look maybe this is the face that will haunt you
maybe these are the eyes that will drive you out of your mind
Take a look maybe this is the face that will haunt you
maybe these are the eyes that will drive you out of your mind
