I always feel like somebody’s watching me. And I can’t get no privacy. Oho-o.
When I’m in the shower, I’m afraid to wash my hair. Cuz I might open my eyes and find someone standing there! I always feel like somebody’s watching me.
There’s a somebody I’m longing to see…I hope that he turns out to be someone to watch over me…
He’s watching me watching you watching him…I’m watching you watching him watching me…
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view while all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too. Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl. Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
You say two riders were approaching? That reminds me of some odd cows I saw the other day, y’see, their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel. Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath I could feel. A bolt of fear shot through me as I looked up in the sky, for I saw the riders comin’ hard…And I heard their mournful cry:
Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi-yea!
Ghost riders in the sky.
Were they riders on the storm? Because there’s a killer on the road whose brain is squirming like a toad. Better take a long holiday and let your children play. If you give this man a ride your sweet family will die.
Was the brain like a horny toad? Because it was probably thinking… If u think I’m nasty U ain’t seen nothing yet. Y’see I’m the kinda brother that the more u scream the nastier I get. I can’t help it, I’m just a horny toad
Back to the howling old owl in the woods, hunting the horny black toad…
He’ll be down in the hollow there; he needs your head! Look out! Beware!
With a hip-hip and a clippety-clop, he’s out looking for a head to swop. But don’t try to figure out a plan; you can’t reason with a headless man.
Hey, I wanna build my world around you / Tell you that it’s true / I wanna make you understand / I’m talkin’ about a lifetime plan.

Oh, the Little River Band! I love that song!

Ever since we came to be, with the plan we’ve learned to see, we control infinity. What more?
Ground Control to Major Tom…
When I was 17, I did what people told me. Did what my father said and let my mother mold me. But that was long ago.
I’m in control. I got to have a lot. Control. To get what I want. Control. Never gonna stop. Control. Now I’m all grown up.
Got to get some food, I’m so hungry all the time. Got to get some sleep, I’m so nervous in the night. I don’t know how to stop. Got to pick up the phone; I will call any number; I will talk to anyone. I know I’m gone to far, and I don’t want to think what I’ve done. I don’t know how to stop.
No self control…
I’m in the phone booth, it’s the one across the hall. If you don’t answer I’ll just ring it off the wall. I know he’s there, but I just had to call. Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone.
I got a little black book with my poems in. Got a bag, got a toothbrush, and a comb in. When I’m a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in…I got electric light, and I got second sight. I’ve got amazing powers of observation. And that is how I know when I try to get through on the telephone to you, there’ll be nobody home.
I know you’ve deceived me, now here’s a surprise. I know that you have 'cause there’s magic in my eyes. I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles, oh yeah. If you think that I don’t know about the little tricks you’ve played
and never see you when deliberately you put things in my way – well, here’s a poke at you. You’re gonna choke on it too. You’re gonna lose that smile beacuse all the while: I can see for miles and miles. I can see for miles and miles. I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles.
Oh yeah!
I got a black magic woman. Got a black magic woman. I’ve got a black magic woman, got me so blind I can’t see. That she’s a black magic woman, trying to make a devil out of me.
Blinded by the light, cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night.
Yes, she’s a restless spirit on an endless flight. Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how high she flie-ie-ies. Woo hoo witchy woman, she got the moon in her eye-eye-eye.
