Watching
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.
Watching you... Watching me
Watching you... Watching me
I focus on a face in Samarkand
Accepting my reward
It brings alive my distant memories
They're my last resort
Watching you... Watching me
(Watching you... Watching me)
A look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Dinosaurs are grazing in suburbia
They're glowing in the dark
Electrified they fight and fuss about
They're eating up the park
Watching you... Watching me
(Watching you... Watching me)
A look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
The circuit boards are linking up in rhyme
There is no reason why
Except the dreams of soft machines
We have no need to cry
Watching you... Watching me
(Watching you... Watching me)
A look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Watching you... watching me
(Watching you... watching me)
Watching you... watching me
(Watching you... watching me)
A look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
A look left, look right
I spend all of my time...
Watching...
Watching you watching me
Yeah, watching you watching me
Yeah, watching you watching me...
