UB40 — Your Eyes Were Open

Oh doctor help me please I'm dying, crippled with disease My Body's aching limb to limb My bones are glowing through my skin When I look up into black skies Mushrooms grow before my eyes Doctor save me if you can I'm a desperate man (repeat) As he lay thinking he was dead A burning pain short through his head He looked into those tired old eyes Heard forty years of anguished cries And this doctor said Your eyes were open But you shut them with your mouth You always heard But you weren't doing the screaming You'd only just woken But Already, you'd forgotten What you were dreaming Such a sad case The failure of a human race
