Lyrics
Being Watched
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.
You're a voyeur junkie, you're a problem boy
The peeping toms regard you as their toy
The keyboard cowboys have stolen your voice
You'd like to give it up but you haven't got a choice
You've got a morbid fascination and a twisted view
You want big brother to spy on you
The trouble is (and you know it's true)
You like to be watched and be the watcher, too
You tap your morse from your specimen jar
You are the audience, you are the star
You like to be watched and be the watcher, too
You've got mail - you'd better read it or you will become detached
And you wouldn't want that
Would you?
You like to be watched and be the watcher, too
