Nightmare of You
A Pair of Blue Eyes
[Verse 1]
There's got to be some way out of here
There's got to be some way out of here, oh
Like an ocean snake, I slithered in twine
And played in your tears like they were brine

[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Just take some more of this
And you'll feel better, love."

[Chorus]
Oh, what a pair of eyes
Sadder than blue
Richer than blood
Deeper than truth
I cursed, I prayed
I prayed, then I cursed some more
But I can't deal with anything
If you make me cry

[Verse 2]
Oh, just to be an ice cube in your glass
Oh, just to be an ice cube in your glass
My sinews, they burn for your touch
To be drank into your gut

[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Just take some more of this
And you'll feel better, love."

[Chorus]
Oh, what a pair of eyes
Sadder than blue
Richer than blood
Deeper than truth
I cursed, I prayed
I prayed, then I cursed some more
But I can't deal with anything
If you make me cry

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
"Take some more of this
And you'll feel better, love."

[Chorus]
Oh, what a pair of eyes
Sadder than blue
Richer than blood
Deeper than truth
I cursed, I prayed
I prayed, then I cursed some more
But I can't deal with anything
If you make me cry
