Kill Eye

Crowded House · Temple Of Low Men [1988]

Kill eye a fiery retreat from the stars

Kill eye he came clambering over the wall

I wanna be forgiven

I wanna laugh with children

Please please forgive me

I wanna hug my mother

I want the earth to open up

And hold me

Kill eye watch the security guard

Kill eye separate a man from his life

I wanna laugh with children

I wanna ride the pony

I will love you till the end

Kill eye half way to hell and beyond

And the sky above her

I want the earth to open up

Kill Eye
