The Utilities - Eyelashes (My Mind, the Highway, and a Show) lyrics

My Mind is a pilot who always looks over his shoulder Trained years ago to pay his attention to the wake Of tears and of baggage trailing behind him Never quite going where their old master planned for them The Highway is a pirate with a bird on his shoulder Trained better than to pay attention attention to the captives All strung together, only ever going exactly Where their new master has planned for them This Show is a riot with blood on his shoulders Too drunk to pay attention to the band or the dancers Doing their best to entertain, but fueling the fire And never quite knowing just who their master is So, the three of them picked a day and they got together And did the only thing they thought they knew how to They tried to k** beauty But now look at her ashes: Hoarfrost triumphantly dusting the trees They thought they k**ed beauty But as gentle as eyelashes I see her breast rising as she once again breathes
