Lyrics
0:03People say there's no such thing as voodoo
0:06I don't know why
0:08People say there's no such thing as love
0:22I got a job in se 15
0:28And after tax my wage is 16
0:33July the 17th I'll be 18
0:38I don't think I'll live till 19
0:43People say I'm looking so much older than what I am
0:48People laugh at me when I say why
0:52I'm being watched
0:59By the evil eye
1:03I'm being watched
1:09By the evil eye
1:14Working for a man who wears a straw hat and never smiles
1:18And an apron striped and splashed with blood
1:23I stack a pig's head on the shelf
1:28The boss comes along and says move yourself
1:33I can't move I'm hypnotized
1:39Staring into a dead pig's eyes
1:44I turn around and all I see is ladies
1:47With shopping bags
1:49Staring at me trying to read my mind
1:53And I'm being watched
2:00By the evil eye
2:03I'm being watched
2:10By the evil eye
2:22Walking home on my own
2:24Standing on the bus stop crossing the road
2:27I'm being followed 'cause I can feel
2:29Someone's breath on my neck
2:30Someone's toe on my heel
2:32Gotta keep on walking
2:34I can't stop now I've come too far
2:37Wait till I get home and lock the door
2:42I got the candles burning low
2:47I got the cramps on the stereo
2:52I got the doll now I can start
2:58With a pin right trough the heart
3:03I got dolls with straw hats
3:04I got ladies with shopping bags
3:08They'll be sorry they crossed me tonight
3:12Now they're being watched
3:17I'm being watched
3:18By the evil eye
3:22Being watched
3:29By the evil eye
3:32Being watched
3:39By 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 se 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 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 I'm being watched By the evil eye Being watched By the evil eye Being watched By the evil eye
