[Verse 1] I saw her, yeah I saw her with her black tongue tied Round the roses Fist pounding on a vending machine Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger With a noose she can hang from the sun And put it out with her dark sunglasses Walking crooked down the beach She spits on the sand where their bones are bleaching [Pre-Chorus] And I know I'm gonna steal her eye She doesn't even know what's wrong And I know I'm gonna make her die Take her where her soul belongs And I know I'm gonna steal her eye Nothing that I wouldn't try [Chorus] Hey, my sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl My sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl [Verse 2] I saw her, yeah I saw her with her hands tied back And her rags were burning Crawling out from a landfilled life Scrawling her name upon the ceiling Throw a coin in a fountain of dust White noise, her ears are ringing Got a ticket for a midnight hanging Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving [Pre-Chorus] And I know I'm gonna steal her eye She doesn't even know what's wrong And I know I'm gonna make her die Take her where her soul belongs And I know I'm gonna steal her eye Nothing that I wouldn't try [Chorus] Hey, my sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl My sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl [Bridge] [Chorus] Hey, my sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl My sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl My sun-eyed girl Hey, my sun-eyed girl
