Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Those distant eyes
They look at you
They're focusing
Another view
[Verse 2]
What do you think the trouble'd be
With eyes that look but do not see?
[Verse 3]
That ear, that ear is
Preoccupied
Is difficult
To open wide
[Verse 4]
How can you get the picture clear
If when one speaks, you do not hear?
[Verse 5]
Won't you open up your senses
And eliminate pretenses
While the source of all enhances
Every aspect of your life?
[Verse 6]
The tongue that has
The taste we lack
Was like a whip upon the back
[Verse 7]
Why cannot taste this point of view
And measure what we say and do?
[Verse 8]
The turned up nose
That thinks we're great
Will blow our heads all out of shape
[Verse 9]
The thinless smile, so, so crude
Could really be our attitude
[Verse 10]
Won't you open up your senses
And eliminate pretenses
While the source of all enhances
Every aspect of your life?
Of your life
[Verse 11]
Those plastic smiles upon your face
While going through
Going through the same old pace
[Verse 12]
Oh, where can be the inner glow
While facial muscles tighten so?
[Verse 13]
Those hands that touch
But do not feel
The point of life that makes us real
[Verse 14]
Those arms stretched out and open wide
But do they want someone inside?
[Verse 15]
Won't you open up your senses
And eliminate pretenses
While the source of all enhances
Every aspect of your life?
Of your life
Of your life
Of your life
