about

Growing up, I thought my neighbor was a Cyclops. He was probably a good guy.

lyrics

He cut through my backyard today
Over his shoulder he looked this way
Then he quickly looked away
Like he might run screaming
Screaming

I wish noone any harm
I grew up here on this farm
My house now falls around me
Around me

We sold them their land
Worked with our own hands
They don’t understand

Stab me with a hardened stick
Make it crooked or make it thick
But make it short and make it quick
Stab me while I’m sleeping

Cover me with that heavy clay
I have nothing left to say
and nowhere else to go today

I’ll miss Staring at the sky
With my one good eye
Waiting here to die
