Buildings Have Eyes (from "Secret Messages" single)

(álbum: Secret Messages - 1983)

Pretty, pretty are the girls as they go by
Chilly, chilly is the air under moonlit sky
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide
You know the buildings have eyes, too
This place is lonely, but you can't get away
No matter what you say
You know the buildings have eyes, too

Silly, silly are the thoughts that fill your head
Wish I'd never set out, wish I'd stayed in bed
You see reflections from across the street
So you better get moving, stop dragging your feet

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide
You know the buildings have eyes, too
This place is lonely, but you can't get away
No matter what you say
You know the buildings have eyes, too

(Money) Money, money, gotta get some money and run
(Da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da, money)
A position I find unenviable
It doesn't matter which way you turn
But you gotta keep trying 'cause you'll never learn

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide
You know the buildings have eyes, too
This place is lonely, but you can't get away
No matter what you say
You know the buildings have eyes, too

Funny, funny how the world goes 'round and 'round
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
You better watch your step, don't make a sound
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide
You know the buildings have eyes, too
This place is lonely, but you can't get away
No matter what you say
You know the buildings have eyes, too

Pretty, pretty
Chilly, chilly
Silly, silly
Money, money
Funny, funny
