At The Drive-In - This Night Has Opened My Eyes Lyrics

[Originally by The Smiths]

in a river, the color of red
emerged the baby's head
wrap her up in the news of the world
dump her on a doorstep, girl

this night has opened my eyes
and i will never sleep again

you kicked and cried
like a bullied child
a grown man of 25
he said he's cure your ills
but he didn't and he never will

so--so save your life
because you only got one
the dream is gone but the baby is real

oh--you did a good thing
she could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
oh--you did a bad thing
and i'm not happy and i'm not sad

a shoeless child on a swing
remind you of your own again?
she took away your troubles
oh--but then again she left pain

so--so save your life
because you only got one
the dream is gone but the baby is real

oh--you did a good thing
she could have been a poet or she could have been a fool
oh--you did a bad thing
and i'm not happy and i'm not sad

you did a bad thing
you did a bad thing
and i'm not happy and i'm not sad
[repeat 2x]
