Lyrics

On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice You come over to my place, you're screaming blue murder Needing someplace to hide Hey well, I wish you'd keep quiet Imaginations run riot In these paper-thin walls And when the place comes ablaze With a thousand dropped names I don't know who to call I got a friend over there in the government block And he knows the situation and he's taking stock I think I'll call him up now Gonna put him on the spot, tonight They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off 'Bout saving some fish Now could that be construed as some radical's views or some liberal's wish Uh-huh, it's so hot outside and the air is so sweet And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees When it's too hot to breathe And it's too hot to think There's always someone looking at you S-s-s-someone's lookin' at you They're always someone looking at you Tonight, they're looking at you tonight And I wish you'd stop whispering Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening But it makes me nervous, those things you say You may as well Shout it from the roof Scream it from your lungs And spit it from you mouth Hey it could fall on deaf ears to indulge in your fears There's a spy in the sky There's a noise on the wire There's a tap on the line For every paranoid desire There's always someone looking at you S-s-s-someone's lookin' at you They're always someone looking at you They're always lookin' at you They're always lookin' at you They're always lookin' at you They're always lookin' at you They're always lookin' at you They're always lookin' at you They're always... On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice
