The Crossing of Her Arms

It's closing time for the eyes
It's closing time for the eyes

When Anita came into plain view
(I learned from Snake)
(The only other way)
(Careful be thy hoping)

There’s nothing to excuse
(Not knowing how long it should take)

Careful be...
(That's careful, that's careful)

When Anita crossed her arms at me
I almost fell apart, you know
What must be excused?
Tell me, tell me

When my heart had been afar in Cairo
(I learned from Snake)
(The only other way)
(Careful, be foreknowing)

The room for error was aside
(Not knowing how long it should take)

But it still knew how this had happened

It's closing time for the eyes
It's closing time for the eyes
It's closing time for the eyes

For my eyes
For my eyes

(Eyes)

When Anita crossed her arms at me
I almost fell apart, you know
What must be excused?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
