windows
have eyes
and a wise man tells no lies
the walls have ears,
the windows have eyes
and a dead man tells no lies
repeat
no lies, no lies, no lies
and a dead man tells no lies
if these walls could talk
they would tell you things you
wouldn't believe
these windows have seen sights
you couldn't imagine
and it can't be erased by
windex or a coat of paint
surprise!!!
for each and every wall that
ever stood it has a story
some are not so obvious and some
are self- explantory
it's padded wall in my laboratory
they're lookin through the keyhole
of you dormitory
meanwhile, up in my observatory,
my telescope sees the glory
and it also sees the horror and the
gory they speak derogatory
these walls in this hotel room
tell more tales about fat tales and head
it was heard but never said,
instead the walls bleed
yeah, while they bleeding
you could hear the couples cheating,
undercover meetings
behind these seedy motel walls
best believe they had it all
wreaking balls don't bounce
against the wall
to make that building fall
the walls outside my
apartment complex
building projects are so complex
yet they are taken all out of text
like the wall of berlin, the wall of 'nam,
the wall of china
and my tag on the wall as a reminder
now of course the eyes are the true
windows to the soul
as well as the window to the
world's soul
whether plain glass or stained glass
every set of eyes has a set of
windows with a set of eyes
now tell me what the world would be
if we did not have windows (we did
not have windows)
you would hardly ever catch the crimin
al or see the swindle
everyone inside would need
a c when they
assemble
a private penitentiary at home
is what it might resemble
see my window- pane
got so much pain
the glass is busting out the frame
so let the candle kindle
in the window as a symbol
i be leavin' my window open hoping
that i might get a breeze
but when the wind comes in the eyes
come in and eyes don't seem
to want to leave
because spying eyes by
eyeing the prize
and eyeing on your movement
you can change your wall
and windows
with some building home improvement
but looky looos they still be trying
you look inside your window
the walls will hear it ever single
time you voice crescendos
it's enough to make you tremble,
leave you in limbo
can it also be simple?
because these are fundamentals
for the mental so don't
get sentimental
because these are not your windows
these wall are really rentals
they know everything your into
and all the business that you tend to
so keep your windows rolled up
and don't hold up the wall
against the floor
and while you're window shopping
don't bother stopping at my store
i put a note in the window,
but you couldn't read what is said
so i took a rock and carved it in
the glass and it read:
repeat
