Lyrics

They took my father's eyes
Left me brown & colourblind
Twisting in the wind
Like he'd never been
They took my father's eyes
Down in Georgetown on the water
Fog rolls in off the river
The winter's dying a velvet death
Drowned by college kids & epithets
But they took my father's eyes
Left us in the red
Left us waiting for a sign
Left us waiting on the dead
Georgetown is underground
In all our favourite ways
You can tell in the price of beer and MRIs
You're not good enough to Live here
They took my father's eyes
Left me blue & colourblind
And twisting in the wind
Like he'd never been
They took my father's eyes
They say this is just history
Water underneath the bridge
But you & I we've got this history
And they've got my father's eyes
Down in Georgetown they make promises
Down in Georgetown they tell lies
Down in Georgetown they said they'd save his Life
They didn't meet my mother's eyes
Couldn't meet my mother's eyes
Couldn't meet my mother's eyes
They couldn't meet my mother's eyes
They couldn't meet my mother's eyes
