Thru The Walls

From your singular secret eye

watch the neighbourhood passin by

Stay by your TV and telephone

Stay in this fortress that you call home

Now you are constantly on your guard

but it's tough as they're getting

smarter and faster, spreading like rabbits

across the land.

Was a time when the sky was blue

and the traffic was nice and slow

Now, we've got tolls to communicate

We fly out in minutes to any state

Still I see sadness in your eyes

and thru the walls I can hear your sighs

and it's getting harder as you're getting

older and that's no lie.

Was a time when your head was stronger

You were brilliant but that's no longer true

Now your memory is growing weaker

You have long since passed your peak

No more Ace to play, in a fading day

You are still alive, nothing less - no more

and the years go by, thru the walls I can hear your sighs.
