lyrics

Mr. Cyclops

I stumbled through your world a broken man with one eye
You took me in an exile from the kingdom of the blind
You didn’t know it, thought I could read your signs
But mostly what I did was block the sun, turn daylight into night

I tried to trace your path followed down the steps you took
I watched your every step, studied you by the book
I danced behind you, but when you turned around to look
Saw flailing chaos, you’re Peter Pan, I’m Captain Hook

I’m Mr Cyclops with my giant Cyclops hands
More hurricane than rainbow, that’s what I didn’t understand
I’m Mr Cyclops with my giant Cyclops gait
Try to lift you up so high, but end up crushing you with my weight

My feet they feel like tanks rumbling through your quiet town
Far too jarring, out of place, even their very sound
Not meant for narrow lanes quaint cafes peaceful grounds
They just bash around and knock your lovely houses down

I’m Mr Cyclops with my giant Cyclops hands
More hurricane than rainbow, that’s what I didn’t understand
I’m Mr Cyclops with my giant Cyclops gait
Try to lift you up so high, but end up crushing you with my weight

I open up my giant’s mouth to tell you what you do to me
That when I look at you, a gorgeous lioness is what I see
But the words they fight me, what comes out is hello cute kitty
Your eyes they darken, I walk the plank into the cold black sea

I stumbled through your world a broken man with one eye
You took me in an exile from the kingdom of the blind
You didn’t know it, thought I could read your signs
But mostly what I did was block the sun, turn daylight into night

I stumbled through your world a broken man with one eye
