The Walls and the Windows

[Hook] The walls have ears, the windows have eyes And a wise man tells no lies The walls have ears, the windows have eyes And a dead man tells no lies (2x) No lies, no lies, no lies And a dead man tells no lies If these walls could talk They would tell you things you wouldn't believe These windows have seen sights you couldn't imagine And it can't be erased by Windex or a coat of paint [Hook] [Verse 1] Surprise!!! For each and every wall that ever stood it has a story Some are not so obvious and some are self-explantory It's padded walls in my laboratory They're lookin through the keyhole of you dormitory Up in my observatory, my telescope sees the glory But it also sees the horror and the gory they speak derogatory These walls in this hotel room, tell more tales about fat tails and head It was heard but never said Instead the walls bleed, yeah, while they bleeding You could hear the couples cheating, undercover meetings Behind these seedy motel walls best believe they heard it all Wrecking balls don't bounce against the wall, to make that building fall The walls outside my apartment complex, building projects are so complex Yet they are taken all out of text Like the wall of Berlin, the wall of 'Nam, the wall of China And my tag on the wall as a reminder [Hook] Now of course the eyes are the true windows to the soul As well as the window to the world's soul Whether plain glass or stained glass Every set of eyes has a set of windows with a set of eyes [Verse 2] Now tell me what the world would be If we did not have windows (We did not have windows) You would hardly ever catch the criminal, or see the swindle Everyone inside would need A/C, when they assemble A private penitentiary at home, is what it might resemble See, my window-pane got so much pain, the glass is busting out the frame So let the candle kindle in the window, as a symbol I be leavin' my window open, hoping that I might get a breeze But when the wind comes in the eyes Come in and eyes don't seem to want to leave Because spying eyes by eyeing the prize, and eyeing on your movement You can change your wall and windows, with some building home improvement But looky looos they still be trying to look inside your window The walls will hear it ever single time, your voice crescendos It's enough to make you tremble, leave you in limbo Can it also be simple? Because these are fundamentals For the mental, so don't get sentimental Because these are not your windows, these wall are really rentals They know everything you into, and all the business that you tend to So keep your windows rolled up, and don't hold up the wall against the floor And while you're window shopping, don't bother stopping at my store I put a note in the window, but you couldn't read what is said Instead I took a rock and carved it in the glass and it read: [Hook]
