Walls have eyes
(1985)
How can you decide what’s better from inside your heart.
Better not to try.
It’s better not to start.
Someone making love to you.
It shows under the skin.
Anyone can win.
Someone like me can win.
In it for the money.
Whatever, whatever.
In for the love
that hungers me for the start of things.
Someone else’s body.
All your loving brings.
There must be something more,
something more.
These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They see the lies
that hide the fears.
They watch us live.
They watch us grow.
What lies ahead.
What lies below.
When that magnificent woman lays back,
behind the beat,
better not to sleep.
Someone making love to you.
Perform that magical skill.
Go in for the kill.
You move in for the kill.
Kill for the money,
whatever it takes.
Kill for the love,
waiting until the hunger breaks.
Someone else’s body.
Your destiny.
And even all that is sacred,
is sacred, is the secret, is mine.
These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They see the lies
that hide the fears.
Each baby’s cry,
each song is sung
these walls have heard,
each bell that’s rung.
If spiders crawl
these walls within
there’s room for all.
When fate steps in
we celebrate
all things we crave.
What life is lost
What love we save.
One for the money.
Oh the planet shakes whenever we burn.
I want my love all over you.
It’s all the love was meant to be.
We keep the secret with me.
These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They see the mask
that hides the years.
One spark of joy.
One voice to laugh.
Those days foretold
in photograph.
They watch us live.
They watch us grow.
What lies ahead.
What lies below.
These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
These walls have eyes.
These walls have ears.
They won’t survive
for all the tears.
