== Lyrics ==
    cyclops woman got one eye in her head
    mascera-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.
* The guitar riff, especially in the ''[[After School Special]]'' version, strongly resembles that of "[[Coma White]]".
* The beginning of the song provides samples from ''The Exorcist 2''.

-The 1991 demo featured and alternative second chorus:
-    We are all evil inside
-    We are all evil inside
-    Cyclop's woman got one eye in her head
-    Mascera-clotted vision she is fed
-    Cyclop's woman can't see nothing at all
-    She got a pin-prick-spiral hole yeah
-    She can't see nothing, nothing at all
-    She can't see nothing, nothing at all
-    Cyclop's woman dying in her shell
-    Guilt got her trapped in nailed in well
-    Cyclop's woman is the eye of the world
-    Who's reflection's in the retina?
-    She paints her eyes, blackest of all
-    She paints her eyes, blackest of all
-    Dialate
-    Yeah!
-    Dialate
-    We are all evil inside
-    We are all evil inside
