The backs of our eyelids have monitors That show us pictures The backs of our eyelids are inside of us, they show us the cinema I don't go to the cinema, not to the cinema anymore Everything I need is inside my head I just have to close my eyes Everything I see might be made up Wouldn't that be a nice surprise? My brain tricks me, I trick it back Nothing ever gets done The outside world is shining back I close my eyes and it is gone If I was you, I'd close my eyes And since I'm me, I'll close my eyes If I was alert, I'd close my eyes And since I'm not, I'll close my eyes The backs of our eyelids have monitors That show us numbers The backs of our eyelids are reality if reality is the cinema I don't go to the cinema anymore I'd like to live in two dimensions Three is simply too much I can let go my apprehensions But only when I close my eyes I'll stare at the backs of my eyelids Let's get acquainted tonight I can see everything the best When everything is out of sight If I was you, I'd close my eyes And since I'm me, I'll close my eyes If I was alert, I'd close my eyes And since I'm not, I'll close my eyes I'll close my eyes I'll close my eyes I'll close my eyes
