The Evil Eye Lyrics - Joe Jackson

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 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
