The Evil Eye — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

People say theres no such thing as voodoo

I dont know why

People say theres no such thing as love

I got a job in s.e. 15

And after tax my wage is 16

July the 17th Ill be 18

I dont think Ill live till 19

People say Im looking so much older than what I am

People laugh at me when I say why

Im 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 pigs head on the shelf

The boss comes along and says move yourself

I cant move Im hypnotized

Staring into a dead pigs eyes

I turn around and all I see is ladies

With shopping bags

Staring at me trying to read my mind

And Im being watched

By the evil eye

And Im being watched

By the evil eye

(walking home - on my own

Standing on the bus stop- crossing the road

Im being followed - cause I can feel

Someones breath on my neck

Someones toe on my heel . . .)

Gotta keep on walking

I cant stop now - Ive 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

Theyll be sorry they crossed me tonight

Now theyre being watched

By the evil eye

Being watched

By the evil eye
