JEFF BUCKLEY LYRICS - Haven't You Heard

"Haven't You Heard"



Your wish is my command!

Have you heard this talk about eye contact

Gonna be the downfall of this town

First the photographs take you to the right hands

Leads you to the authority mold



Paranoia will write the world prayer

Make sure that you fit in the right holes

But when you take his offer, you're done for

Done for, done for, oooh....



Phantoms in pockets, we're in panic

Making order in total disgust

Oh, they read a list of all who cannot stay

Take you down, on the ground



Paranoia will write this world prayer

Make sure that you fit in the right holes

But when you take his offer, you're done for

Done for, oooh....



Make sure you learn to beware your neighbor

Bolt the doors and hire your guards

Suck your life with their virus called language

Someone told you this all would go down

And the last thing you see is the luster

Hold the razor, goodbye to your friends

Would your underground please call the mayor

Call the neighbor, call your friends



Paranoia will write the world prayer

Make sure that you fit in the right holes

But when you take his offer, you're done for

Done for, done for, oooh....



Well, when he first saw you

You'd need no protection

Eyes trained on your mouth

You'll learn to take him

Hmmm, It's a brand new power, oh



My friends had her questions right

Beware your neighbor

Haven't you heard, haven't you heard

That we're done for. Oh

Learn to beware your neighbor

And the right mode

Haven't you heard?

Haven't you heard

That we're done for, done for? Oh



When I count down from ten

You'll feel the lead in your lids

You'll have no need to exist

And wake up refreshed.
