Song Where Your Eyes Don't Go
Album: Lincoln

Intro:
E Am E Am/G

Verse 1:
C F G A
Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves his broomstick
Bb G Am F G
arms and does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
C F G A Bb
when you turn around to look it's gone behind you on its face
G Am F G
it's wearing your confused expression - where your eyes don't go

Chorus:
Ab Bb Cm Ab / Bb
Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering
Eb Fm Gm Ab / Bb
it's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering
Eb Eb+aug5 Eb+6 Eb+7
you're free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow
Ab Ab+6 Ab+maj7 Ab
but there's a pair of eyes in back of your head

Verse 2:
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that
wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of
should you worry when the skull head is in front of you - or
is it worse because it's always waiting - where your eyes don't go

Chorus:
Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering
it's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering
you're free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow
but there's a pair of eyes in back of your head

Bridge:
Eb Ab Bb C
Db Bb Cm Ab/Bb

Verse 3: ( Verse 1 again
Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves his broomstick
arms and does a parody of each unconscious thing you do
when you turn around to look it's gone behind you on its face
it's wearing your confused expression - where your eyes don't go

Outro:
Am Am+maj7 Am+dom7 Am+6
Dm Bb Bm E
A A+aug5 A+6 A+7
D B E

I interpret this song as a Sartrean message... I can't quite remember how to phrase the concept, but I have a strong feeling that the song and philosophy are aligned...

I think the song is written about your subconscious mind. So ur subconscious is always with u and always thinking but you dont realise. Like when it sez: Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of. The part that isnt thinking is meaning ur subconsious.

This song is at it's best potential when stoned. I love it, it's brilliance.
