The Eye - 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
