Lyrics Weird Al Yankovic – My Own Eyes
Text:
Intro:
I saw a baby drive a truck
I saw a junkie eat a tuba
I saw a stripper kiss a duck
Verse 1:
I saw this fat, psychotic guy
His underwear was made of crickets
He pawned a skeleton to buy
Some old expired lotto tickets
Pre-Chorus 1:
I saw a naked vagrant giving
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to his cat
I probably could have gone my whole life
Without seeing that
Chorus:
With my own eyes
I see things that’d drive a normal man insane
Wish I could disconnect my brain
From my own eyes
Verse 2:
I saw a mime get hacked to death
With an imaginary cleaver
I saw an old man’s final breath
I watched him die from Bieber Fever
I saw these diabetic chicks
In an abandoned 7-Eleven
I watched them snorting pixie sticks
While they were belching Stairway To Heaven
Pre-Chorus 2:
They could shove up each other’s nose
I’d like to erase my mind completely but I suppose
That’s just the way it goes
Chorus 2
With my own eyes
I see things that’d drive a normal man insane
Wish I could disconnect my brain
From my own eyes (my own eyes)
Those visions haunt my memory
Oh, there’s so much I wish I could unsee
With my own eyes
Verse 3:
Some priest got drunk and stole a circus zebra
And he trained it to massage his back
My guinea pig committed hara-kiri
So we used him to play hacky-sack
My neighbor’s kids sold weapons grade plutonium
And frosty ice-cold lemonade
They took MasterCard and sometimes
Human organs in trade, that’s how we paid
I have to say that it was really darn good lemonade
Outro:
With my own eyes
I’ve seen thing that’d drive a normal man insane
Wish I could disconnect my brain
From my own eyes (my own eyes)
Those visions haunt my memory
Oh, there’s so much I wish I could unsee
With my own eyes repeating
