Opium Eyes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eventually he became part of the history of the world
He started killing men and he ain't well, scattered their bones across the sky
Came down from the city, caused a rumble and he did fly
Ball-peen head and opium eyes
He became watchful and so did I
He kept moving and so did I
And flew clear and so did I
Whirlpooled and so did I, my wife and my children

[Verse 2]
Along the history of the world
He started killing men and he ain't well, scattered their bones across the sky
Came down from the city, caused a rumble and he did fly
Ball-peen head and opium eyes
He became watchful and so did I
He kept moving and so did I
He flew clear and so did I, he flew clear and so did I
Whirlpooled and so did I, my wife and my children

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
