Joe Jackson - The Evil Eye lyrics

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 (they're being watched)

by the Evil Eye

Being watched

by the Evil Eye

Being watched

by the Evil Eye
