There was a man who saw everything
So clearly it hurt his eyes
He got a gun and shot it at the sun
And said "Don't shine on me, I'll go blind"
She always told him the honest truth
But all that he heard were lies
Made sure himself she'd look at no one else
Threw bleach in her pale blue eyes
And for today I could see you when I close my eyes and
Just for one day maybe I'd become obsessed
And for today I would meet you on the other side and
Just for one day I could rest
I drew your picture from memory
Permanently in the sand
I keep it clean and locked away unseen
I keep it at my right hand
And for today I could walk along the golden road and
Just for one day maybe I could do with less
And for today I could give up everything I own and
Just for one day I could rest
And for today I could finally make a leap of faith and
Then on that day maybe I would fail the test
And the next day I would pack it up and go back home and
Just for one day I could rest
