Someone's Looking At You Lyrics - The Fine Art Of Surfacing - Boomtown Rats

On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice 

You come over to my place screaming blue murder, needing someplace to hide. 

Well, I wish you'd keep quiet, 

Imaginations run riot, 

In these paper-thin walls. 

And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names 

I don't know who to call. 

But I got a friend over there in the government block 

And he knows the situation and he's taking stock, 

I think I'll call him up now 

Put him on the spot, tonight. 

They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off 

About saving some fish. 

Now could that be construed as some radical's views or some liberals' wish. 

And it's so hot outside, 

And the air is so sweet, 

And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak. 

You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees. 

When it's too hot to breathe 

And it's too hot to think. 

There's always someone looking at you. 

S-s-s-s-someone. 

They're looking at you. 

And I wish you'd stop whispering. 

Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening. 

Still it makes me nervous, those things you say. 

You may as well 

Shout it from the roof 

Scream it from your lungs 

Spit it from you mouth 

It could fall on deaf ears to indulge in your fears 

There's a spy in the sky 

There's a noise on the wire 

There's a tap on the line 

And for every paranoid's desire...
