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........
