when i was a little girl the world was small to me all the light in my life filtered softly through the trees the shadows in the photographs five ghosts who followed me i was only truly frightened once they called my name and said they wanted me oh what a beautiful day to try to die oh oh oh for one sweet second without the eye the eye the eye the eye oh what a beautiful day to try to die oh oh oh for one sweet second without the eye the eye the eye the eye when i grew in age and fame and traveled through the world all the rivers of the city like flags of blue unfurled me pressed against the railing me taken to a room me breaking in the morning dark with a sense of coming doom oh what a beautiful day to try to die oh oh oh for one sweet second without the eye the eye the eye the eye oh what a beautiful day to try to die oh oh oh for one sweet second without the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye now i have grown old and all my grace and beauty gone five ghosts surround my garden i don t tell them to move on i walk deeper into shade now that dappled light again i see you standing at the gate my one and only friend oh what a beautiful day to try to die oh oh oh for one sweet second without the eye the eye the eye the eye oh what a beautiful day to try to die oh oh oh for one sweet second without the eye the eye the eye the eye the eye
