[Verse 1] Open up the lids Light just falls inside Tiny rays of world On a slippery ride First it hits the film Tear wash Glossy chill Then the clear front curve Bends it how it will [Pre-Chorus] Through that cornea glass It’s already turned But it’s still a blur Still has to learn [Chorus] This is how your eye works Windows in your head Bending little light waves Filling you with reds From the front clear dome To the brain that sees Millions of tiny sparks Make your memories [Verse 2] Slip through the doorway Dark ring shapes the frame That colored circle gate Shrinks and widens flames In its middle Hole Lets the bright stuff through Lens hangs just behind Pulling images true [Pre-Chorus] Muscles squeeze it round Or flatten it thin Bringing far-off hills and close-up print in [Chorus] This is how your eye works Windows in your head Bending little light waves Filling you with reds From the front clear dome To the brain that sees Millions of tiny sparks Make your memories [Bridge] Past the jelly sea All the way inside Picture hits that screen Where the cells divide Some love shadow Some love glow Rods catch dark And cones catch tone All flipped backward Upside-down Nerve thread carries it to town [Chorus] This is how your eye works Windows in your head Signal on a thin cord Racing straight ahead Brain turns blur to faces Words and moving trees Tiny points of brightness Become your whole scene
