blood in her eyes for you

i am:
writing my thesis
making money walking dogs, teaching, playing poker, and modeling
especially kind to crippled cats
physically broken
enjoying the fast life
failing to write here very often

and i've been listening to this song a lot while i drive lately. perhaps too much.

fake palindromes by andrew bird

My dewy-eyed disney bride what has tried
swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
Monsters?

Whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide!
Jesus don’t you know that you coulda died
you shoulda died

with the monsters what talk
monsters what walk the earth

she’s got red lipstick
and a bright pair of shoes
she's got knee high socks
what to cover a bruise
she’s got an old death kit
she’s been meaning to use
she's got blood in her eyes in her eyes for you
she’s got blood in her eyes for you

certain fads, stripes and plaids singles ads
they run you hot and cold like a rheostat I mean a thermostat
so you bite on a towel
hope it won’t hurt too bad

she says I like long walks and sci-fi movies
you’re six foot tall and east coast bred
some lonely night we can get together
and I’m gonna tie your wrists with leather
and drill a tiny hole into your head

i absolutely love this song. i found your blog while looking for some sort of history of the phrase, "blood in eyes" and versions of that. good luck with the dog walking and holes in your head.
