The Evil Eye |
| People say there’s no such thing as voodoo |
| I don’t know why |
| People say there’s no such thing as love |
| I got a job in S.E. |
| 15 |
| And after tax my wage is 16 |
| July the 17th I’ll be 18 |
| I don’t think I’ll live till 19 |
| People say I’m looking so much older than what I am |
| People laugh at me when I say why |
| I’m being watched |
| By the Evil Eye |
| I’m being watched |
| By the Evil Eye |
| Working for a man who wears a straw hat and never smiles |
| and an apron striped and splashed with blood |
| I stack a pig’s head on the shelf |
| The boss comes along and says move yourself |
| I can’t move I’m hypnotized |
| Staring into a dead pig’s eyes |
| I turn around and all I see is ladies |
| With shopping bags |
| Staring at me trying to read my mind |
| And I’m being watched |
| By the Evil Eye |
| And I’m being watched |
| By the Evil Eye |
| (Walking home — on my own |
| Standing on the bus stop- crossing the road |
| I’m being followed — 'cause I can feel |
| Someone’s breath on my neck |
| Someone’s toe on my heel…) |
| Gotta keep on walking |
| I can’t stop now — I’ve come too far |
| Wait till I get home and lock the door |
| I got the candles burning low |
| I got the Cramps on the stereo |
| I got the doll now I can start |
| With a pin right trough the heart |
| I got dolls with straw hats |
| I got ladies with shopping bags |
| They’ll be sorry they crossed me tonight |
| Now they’re being watched |
| By the Evil Eye |
| Being watched |
| By the Evil Eye |
