Richard Thompson - Dungeons For Eyes lyrics

He's smiling at me The man with the blood on his hands The man with the snakes in his shoes Am I supposed to love him? He's smiling at me The hero who chained up the dogs Mephistopheles shorn of his tail Am I supposed to love him? Am I supposed to shake his hand? Souls whisper to me Souls torn from bodies Souls lost and wandering Smile that smile But eyes don't lie It's black in there, and bloody Dungeons for eyes He's got that smell The musty old smell of a priest The damp and mold of neglect The smell of fresh earth dug over But how we forgive Old rivalries half-forgot We smile as best as we can But I can't let it go But I can't let it go I can't forgive you, I can't forgive me Souls whisper to me Souls torn from bodies Souls lost and wandering Smile that smile But eyes don't lie It's black in there, and bloody Dungeons for eyes Dungeons for eyes
