You and I brother and sister should try But who are we fooling with our foolish lives We blunder and stumble with arrogance blind Convinced that our living will be worth our lives But there are eyes upon us Eyes upon us Those eyes belong to the grave I stand here above you and play out the night My fingers on nickel strings, my lips on the mic If you keep staring at me, I think that I might Mistake you for salvation and give you a try But there are eyes upon us Eyes upon us Those eyes belong to the grave And I'll keep you honest if you keep me honest One day we both can be saved Preachers are building their mansions for saints They're boarding the windows and closing the gate To lock up their Jesus with the money they've made Bring out the sinners to watch their parade But my eyes are now broken, unable to stand I'm seeing gold-plated liars with bloody red hands They're afire in the pulpit, while out in the street I'm a sinner with the sinners and we only repeat There are eyes upon us Eyes upon us Those eyes belong to the grave And I'll keep you honest if you keep me honest One day we both can be saved La da da Laaaa daa da La da da Laaaa daa da La da da Laaaa da da La da da Laaaa da da
