The eye Songtext

von The Men They Couldn't Hang

Ever alert, do I make you feel safe
Watching the city, asleep and awake
All of the people, the rich and the poor
Every avenue and alleyway
Every window and door

Down on the streets, up in the sky
I am am the ear, I am the eye

I know what you wear, I know what you buy
I know if you steal so don't even try
I know what you earn, I know what you spend
And I know where it starts and where it ends

Down on the streets, up in the sky
I am am the ear, I am the eye

I've read all your books
Watched all your videos
On your television, on your radio
All the records on your stereo
You're never on your own, I'm in the cable
And the telephone

I know what you want, I know what you get
I know where you're going, where you've been
And all the people you've met
I know when you're ill, I know when you're well
I know where you're born, where you live,
Where you die and go to hell

Down on the streets, up in the sky
I am am the ear, I am the eye

I've read all your books, seen all your videos
All the television, all the radio
Played the records on your stereo
You're never on your own, I'm in the cable
And the telephone

Down on the streets, up in the sky
I am am the ear, I am the eye
