Walls have eyes
(1985)
Giving you an ultimatum.
Try to figure out why you
act the way you do, avoiding me,
and trying to keep your distance.
Saw your image in a photograph.
Couldn’t cry so I had to laugh.
And the jealousy that I felt inside
gave way to pure frustration.
And you don’t fool me with your sexy innuendos
and all the secrets you hide.
You find adventure when you’re sleeping
in a brave new world.
But you don’t see me anymore (no, you don’t)
I stand alone (no, you don’t)
Your head is full of illusions.
Your heart is stone.
But you don’t say us anymore (no, you don’t)
And the light is gone (no, you don’t)
No, you don’t say us anymore, anymore.
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us).
Like the devil in the deep blue sea,
gotta have you and must be free .
And all you do is torture me
and question what I stand for.
I’m a victim of circumstance,
just like in modern romance.
And in my situation we go
straight to a hotel room.
And we take our chances.
And when I met you,
you were standing in the moonlight
and your defences were down.
I took advantage of a golden opportunity,
but you don’t see me anymore (no, you don’t)
I stand alone (no, you don’t)
Your head is full of illusions.
Your heart is stone.
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us)
Soon, when the night is young,
I’ll be old and gone.
All because I’m down
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us).
And you don’t fool me with your sexy innuendos
and all the secrets you hide.
You find adventure when you’re sleeping
in a brave new world
But you don’t see me anymore (no, you don’t)
I stand alone (no, you don’t)
Your head is full of illusions.
Your heart is stone.
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us).
Come, hold me like before
Do the things you need to do
What I asked before
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us )
But you don’t see me anymore (no you don’t )
I stand alone (no you don’t )
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us )
Come, hold me like before
Do the things you used to do
What I asked before.
