girl with one eye

florence and the machine, londra, 2009

she told me not to step on the cracks
i told her not to fuss and relax
her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks
but now she sleeps with one eye open
that's the price she paid

i took a knife and cut out her eye
i took it home and watched it wither and die
well, she's lucky that i didn't slip her a smile
that's why she sleeps with one eye open
that's the price she paid

i said, hey, girl with one eye
get your filthy fingers out of my pie
i said, hey, girl with one eye
i'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

i slipped my hand under her skirt
i said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt
oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt
that's why you sleep with one eye open
but that's the price you paid

i said, hey, girl with one eye
get your filthy fingers out of my pie
i said, hey, girl with one eye
i'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

you made me cry
you made me cry
you made me cry

i said, hey, girl with one eye
get your filthy fingers out of my pie
i said, hey, girl with one eye
i'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry
