From your singular secret eye Watch the neighbourhood passin by Stay by your TV and telephone Stay in this fortress that you call home Now you are constantly on your guard But it's tough as they're getting Smarter and faster, spreading like rabbits Across the land.
Was a time when the sky was blue And the traffic was nice and slow Now, we've got tools to communicate We fly out in minutes to any state Still I see sadness in your eyes And thru the walls I can hear your sighs And it's getting harder as you're getting Older and that's no lie.
Was a time when your head was stronger You were brilliant but that's no longer true Now your memory is growing weaker You have long since passed your peak No more Ace to play, in a fading day You are still alive, nothing less - no more And the years go by, thru the walls I can hear your sighs. Older and that's no lie.
