These Walls Have Eyes

(album: 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 starts 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
The 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
The 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
