shiny eyes of crazy

now my child
listen to me,
these shining eyes of crazy
have a lot to say
you must listen,
(like you have another way)

the things i look for but i never find.
the greed that makes me blind.
the hope that someday he'll be kind.

i want, i need. so often i scream.
all those things that i dream.

if i show you my secret,
you would die.
what i have in my pocket,
and what i just threw away
little truth and little lies

now my child come closer,
i want you to stay.
these shining eyes of crazy
will show you things,
about which you'll never say.

these are secrets, child.
the words so unkind.
they are mirrors to tomorrow,
and come what may,
if you listen don't
they'll take you away.
