Flannery’s Eyes

[Verse 1]
The peacock roosts at dusk
Gradual hops and then
From ground to fence to limb
Now the shimmer and the shakes begin
In a vanity that ends
With the eyes of God watching you

[Verse 2]
The ancient design raised
A regal, ultimate array
In ecstasy's display
Look, an ordinary face!
The same supernatural grace
And the eyes of God watching you
(Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
In the meantime, the bull hides
In the shadows of the trees
He's sent to gore your side
With the grace of your disеase

[Verse 3]
The bull is charging now
He will thrust and opеn up your side
Embrace him as he violently abides
In a rosary of mystery inside
The glint in Flannery's eyes
Like the eyes of God watching you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
With the black man's suffering
(The peacock roosts at dusk)
She tattoos the South's Christ-haunted skin
(Gradual hops and then)
She thrusts her peacock-feathered pen
(From ground to fence to limb)
To strike the bloody page again
(Now the shimmer and the shakes begin)
She saw this dying for our sin
In the eyes of God
Wounded eyes of God
In the eyes of God watching you
