Lyrics

Wide Eyes

From Gorilla Manor2009

Written by Andy Hamm, Kelcey Ayer, Matt Frazier, Ryan Hahn, Taylor Rice

Produced by Local Natives, Raymond Richards

Lyrics

Wide Eyes

Oh some evil spirit Oh some evil this way comes They told me how they fear it Now they're placing it on their tongues Oh to see it with my own eyes Oh to see it with my own eyes No food or water for the better part of ten months Quietly he sat between the folds of a tree trunk Oh to see it with my own eyes Oh to see it with my own eyes All the men of faith and men of science had their questions Could it ever be on earth as it is in heaven? Oh to see it with my own eyes Oh to see it with my own eyes
