Lyrics

    cyclops woman got one eye in her head
    mascara-clotted vision she is fed
    cyclops woman can't see nothing at all
    she got a pin-prick-spiral hole
    she can't see nothing, nothing at all
    she can't see nothing, nothing at all
    cyclops woman dying in her shell
    guilt got her trapped in nailed in well
    cyclops woman is the eye of the world
    who's reflection's in the retina?
    she can't see nothing, nothing at all
    she can't see nothing, nothing at all
    dialate, dialate

Trivia

• If the song is fast-forwarded by x1, the sinister moaning from "The Hands of Small Children" can be heard.
