Just Going Blind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Friends say my countenance, or what amounts to it, is a shroud of ash and brown Turning clay into gold can sometimes get you down I suppose there are benefits in being retarded At least your life's a string of moments unguarded [Chorus] Lawyer says my case is poor And the doctor says there is no cure For this war in my mind And I can't feel remorse or hear the cry Is the sun fading? Is the light dying? Or am I just going Or am I just going Or am I just going blind? [Verse 2] I have worn it like a badge, I stitched it across my chest for everyone to see And I have made it a major tenet in my theology In the 20th century, there's no reason or rhyme We've become the greatest experts at simply killing time [Chorus] Lawyer says my case is poor And the doctor says there is no cure For this war in my mind And I can't feel remorse or hear the cry Is the sun fading? Is the light dying? Or am I just going Or am I just going Or am I just going blind? Oh! [Accordion Solo] [Verse 3] Darling, use your riverboat dredge, dive down, dig down underneath my skin This faded, cracked, and thin veneer, so easy to get in Well, I will try not to drown you with what lies behind my kiss Honey, I should warn you first, you swim at your own risk [Chorus] Lawyer says my case is poor And the doctor says there is no cure For this war in my, war in my mind And I can't feel remorse or hear the cry Is the sun fading? Is the light dying? Or am I just going Or am I just going Or am I just going blind? [Outro] Going blind Going blind
