Lyrics Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo

Little Eyes

Took a walk alone last night

Slept inside your head

It was raining hard again,

crawled back into bed

Tried to catch up to you

But you moved too fast

Thought about a million things

Fell asleep at last

Got up again last night

Tore all over town

Skidding tires screeching brakes

Barely make a sound

We were on a winding road

Going 65

Slid along an icy stretch, made it back alive

Little eyes are open but they don't see very far

You can only hurt the ones you love

Not the ones you're thinking of

Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again

Don't you know you're sleeping much too long

Wake up little eyes

Moving but not gaining any ground

Climbing up the escalator as it takes you down

Last night I heard this sound

Echoed everywhere

Like a buzzing amplifier

Burning through the air

It's still raining hard, you said

Have you any clue?

Is it ever gonna stop?

I guess that's up to you

Little eyes are open but they don't see very far

You can only hurt the ones you love

Not the ones you're thinking of

Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again

Don't you know you're sleeping much too long

Wake up little eyes
