You Hear Through These Walls

In these four walls I look, I see I visualize dreaming in my head I talk - I hold conversation - I wonder Somehow I keep my sanity instead Knowing you listen through these four walls I hear voices - knowing thus it is true That these four walls also tell on you Silently you trespass on my mind I sit - my eyes wander daydreaming I am mesmerized by the gaze at my window I twitch - I stare and still I know You listen intently to invade my privacy Knowing in my heart - I am clean Keeping secrets in my place and my four walls Does it make you wonder what's in theirs When they put their ear to this the wall I stand tall ! I conduct myself well To go out in society knowing you pry You seek attention - I strive in perfection I see this in you - the Norman Rockwell gossip Spreading my business - ear to ear - lip to lip In these four walls it is this my home I sit home at night waiting too for a call Knowing you are listening through the wall Can you relate? to your silent listener Invading your time - I do declare Your time is spent gazing at the four walls Listening into me and all my calls You are my neighbor an this you spy Into my private life as if to pry I'm sure you all relate to what we hate The spy listening in to your own four walls Knowing all your business and all your personal calls... Yes indeed the silent listener, I proclaim Is the worst nightmare problem, yet We stay sane........
