A Dark Eye

Intro: In the parking lot where I waited alone A white bird sat sleeping on a broken payphone And there came a black beetle dragging off a green fly Underneath a parked car and then out of sight And I felt a dark eye turn its gaze upon me As if the earth, the earth could see A dark eye, a dark eye A dark eye fell on me In the parking lot where a prairie once grew And through the tall grass, the buffalo flew I heard something crying way down below Where the sewer lines snake around Indian bones In that parking lot, cars bake in the sun And somewhere down the road, the pop of a gun I watched a red ant crawl up my shin And I felt so sad until it bit my skin A dark eye, a dark eye A dark eye fell on me
