I'm wincing in the light.
    C
The nurse is looking anxious,
          D
And she's quivering in fright...

    Em
The doctors are avoiding me.
   D 
My vision is confused.
  C 
I listen to my earphones,
      Bm
And I catch the evening news.
  Em
A murderer's been killed,
         D 
And he donates his sight to science.
    C
I'm locked into a private ward.
  D
I realise that I must be...

  Em
I smash the light in anger.
        D
Push my bed against the door.
  C
I close my lids across my eyes,
    Bm
And wish to see no more.
    E
The eye receives the messages,
    D
And sends them to the brain.
   C                          D    
No guarantee the stimuli must be perceived the same...

Gary don't need his eyes to see.

Gary and his eyes have parted company
