David Byrne - Big Blue Plymouth (eyes Wide Open) lyrics

When your eyes are wide open

There is nothing like the feeling, you can never forget

When your eyes are wide open

Daytime was a feeling but it's not over yet

Are my eyes still open?

We come a long long distance and we're never goin' back

Got my eyes wide open

I got both doors open

I got both doors open

I got the back door open

I got the screen door open.

In another time

In another place

There's a train running through

Right through the middle of the house

Have I been dreaming, or have I been sick?

Are my eyes wide open?

Do I do it like that, or do I do it like this?

Are my eyes wide open?

Wearing' out the carpet doin' tricks with her hands

She's got her eyes wide open?

Think about this, "Well I already have."

I got both doors open

I got both doors open

I got the back door open

I got the screen door open.

Oh I don't understand

Oh it's not just a sound

Oh I don't understand

It doesn't matter at all

See the little girl with the eyes rolled back in her head

She got a complication but she knows it'll work out fine

Naked as a baby, talking 'bout the feeling she gets

In another time, in another place

I got both doors open

I got both doors open

I got the back door open

I got the screen door open.

Oh I don't understand

Oh it's not just a sound

Oh I don't understand

It doesn't matter at all
