During the lockdown, this track was inspired by my increasingly paranoid state and my feelings towards the neighbours and the neighbourhood
lyrics
Eyes on me, every time I step out
Eyes on the front, on the back, all about
Eyes on me, from behind closed shutters
Spying on me from the sewers and the gutters
Eyes on me, every time I step out
Eyes on the front, on the back, all about
Eyes on me, from behind closed shutters
Spying on me from the sewers and the gutters
I can’t hide, they track my hide
They track my ride, from every side
They’re watching me, I can feel their gaze
I can count the days, from behind my shades
Got night vision scopes and binoculars
Not innocuous, they’re stalking us
Out in the dark, in the lot where I park
They’ve got poison darts that don’t leave a mark
Try to glean some intel, listening in
They listen to me, they listen to him
They follow my flow on a track device
They cracked my phone and they hacked it twice
They know about every move I make
About the booze I take, about the bread I bake
Took out my lightbulbs looking for bugs
Even emptied the fridge and looked under the rugs
Eyes on me, every time I step out
Eyes on the front, on the back, all about
Eyes on me, from behind closed shutters
Spying on me from the sewers and the gutters
Eyes on me, every time I step out
Eyes on the front, on the back, all about
Eyes on me, from behind closed shutters
Spying on me from the sewers and the gutters
Try to hide, they look, they seek
They tend to whisper when they speak
I saw a faint movement at the curtain rail
Took a left at the lights, now I’m certain I’m tailed
Now I can’t see how to end the fight
Cos they just might send drones at night
Got dots on the spots in infrared
And I’m starting to hear voices in my head
I just can’t trust the water I drink
And of course they record everything I think
So here I go again, but I’d better duck fast
And I don’t really know how much longer I’m‘a last
Try to jam out their frequencies
See everything’s cloaked in secrecy
So unfeasible, but they tease us so
No reason though, only Jesus knows
Eyes on me, every time I step out
Eyes on the front, on the back, all about
Eyes on me, from behind closed shutters
Spying on me from the sewers and the gutters
Eyes on me, every time I step out
Eyes on the front, on the back, all about
Eyes on me, from behind closed shutters
Spying on me from the sewers and the gutters
I’m doing the controlling
And I don’t even need shown in
I just simply send my drone in
And I zoom out, zoom in, zone in, yeah
I’m doing the controlling
And I don’t even need shown in
I just simply send my drone in
And I zoom out, zoom in, zone inn yeah
I’m doing the controlling
And I don’t even need shown in
I just simply send my drone in
And I zoom out, zoom in, zone in, yeah
