Georgetown

They took my father's eyes
 Left me brown & colourblind
 Twisting in the wind
 Like he'd never been
 They took my father's eyes
 Down in Georgetown on the water
 Fog rolls in off the river
 The winter's dying a velvet death
 Drowned by college kids & epithets
 But they took my father's eyes
 Left us in the red
 Left us waiting for a sign
 Left us waiting on the dead
 Georgetown is underground
 In all our favourite ways
 You can tell in the price of beer and MRIs
 You're not good enough to Live here
 They took my father's eyes
 Left me blue & colourblind
 And twisting in the wind
 Like he'd never been
 They took my father's eyes
 They say this is just history
 Water underneath the bridge
 But you & I we've got this history
 And they've got my father's eyes
 Down in Georgetown they make promises
 Down in Georgetown they tell lies
 Down in Georgetown they said they'd save his Life
 They didn't meet my mother's eyes
 Couldn't meet my mother's eyes
 Couldn't meet my mother's eyes
 They couldn't meet my mother's eyes
 They couldn't meet my mother's eyes
