about

"Nitroglycerin Eyes was a tune that Brian had writen about 3 years ago for his electronic project. Along the way, Randall heard it and had the bass and lyrical idea for it. Eric rerecorded the guitars for the chorus and Brian redid the drums...The rest is from the original track."

lyrics

Just like a wound that never heals
From teeth that never bark or bite
You thumped me right between the eyes, with a million tries to spare
You thump me senseless through the night

Just like a bird with broken wings
Fly through the sky but never freeze
The straw that broke the camel's back, as it's bearing down on me
Sends me to corner on my knees

Your eyes look right through me
Nitroglycerin eyes that make me ten feet tall
Early in the morning feels like late at night
When I wake with my face against the wall

Just like a thousand lonely nights
And i'm alone inside this hell
(When you) brought me my last cigarette it was loaded like a knife
Threw me deep into the wishing well

Burning like a hole in my heart
Burns like acid on my tongue

Your eyes look right through me
Nitroglycerin eyes that make me ten feet tall
Early in the morning feels like late at night
When I wake with my face against the wall

r. rhodes - 13 jan 00
