I was asleep with eyes wide open

Beer soaked mansions block the sky, dingos howl and white flags fly

The future's put on hold and you're still young

Play riff
I was crying with eyes wide open
All is quiet on dripfeed lottery night
You've got to curse the dugong and free the jet ski,
suckling babies at the eski
Invite the looters back the price is right.
But I know seeing is believing
I can't believe what I'm seeing
I know seeing is believing
and I can't believe what I'm seeing
Aaaaaaah If seeing is believing Aaaaaaaah
