Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And I saw her, yeah I saw her with her black tongue tied
Round the roses
A 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 in the sand where the bones are bleaching
[PreChorus]
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
And take her where her soul belongs
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]
And I saw her, yeah I saw her with her hands tied back
Her rags were burning
Crawling out from a landfilled life
Scrawlin' 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
[PreChorus]
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 were her soul belongs
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
[Chorus]
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
My sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
[Chorus]
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
My sun-eyed girl
Hey, my sun-eyed girl
