Lyrics
Watcher
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is there a car straight under a light that's burning?
Prepared by your soul for all the secrets you're holding
Step back in time machine for a mind that's frozen
This is a mind that will challenge the full moon
Capture on acid a man whose mind is exploding
This is a life from the edge of the map that's turning
There on a map they check on the eye of the beholding
This is a flag for a mind that's frozen
Don't look for more deep in the sun it's turning
Ants all over your eyes broken?
They're watching
They've got you now
They're showing pictures on a screen
Time slips and places where you've been
They're little secret of saigon
You trust them mostly to Hong Kong
Guess what's right in the market place?
Selling secrets at the lowest price
Eye to eye, come on it's your weakness
A childish game, marked with foolish??
Walking city, cat 'n' mouse charming
They've got you they've got you now
They'll watch you they've got you now
