Lyrics

On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice
You come over to my place screaming blue murder, needing someplace to hide
Well, I wish you'd keep quiet
Imaginations run riot
In these paper-thin walls
And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names
I don't know who to call
But I got a friend over there in the government block
And he knows the situation and he's taking stock
I think I'll call him up now
Put him on the spot, tonight

They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off
About saving some fish
Now could that be construed as some radical's views or some liberals' wish
And it's so hot outside
And the air is so sweet
And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak
You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees
When it's too hot to breathe
And it's too hot to think

There's always someone looking at you
S-s-s-s-someone
They're looking at you

And I wish you'd stop whispering
Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening
Still it makes me nervous, those things you say
You may as well
Shout it from the roof
Scream it from your lungs
Spit it from you mouth
It could fall on deaf ears to indulge in your fears
There's a spy in the sky
There's a noise on the wire
There's a tap on the line
And for every paranoid's desire..

There's always someone looking at you
S-s-s-s-someone looking at you..
They're always looking at you
