And a little further down the road from where Amos Lee wrote his song, here's a guy who's just had it with someone promising things will be different this time, really, I didn't mean it, I'll never do it again, I promise, honest, and so he's basically saying, "Fuck off and die, you, I'm done."
I love this song for the ruthless rage that's all wrapped up in a cuddly, soft-rock, lite-FM blankie.
I kept the "Sirius" intro because it segues so perfectly into the song, and besides, it just sounds really cool.
Eye in the Sky
by Alan Parsons, Eric Woolfson
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you,
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools,
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies
while all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you,
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools,
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind
