I'm Watching

I’m watching you In the dark alleyways, where I gaze on as a mugging occurs And standing on that gloomy, silent street corner, the little red light of my cigarette glowing And from the roof of the echoing parking garage next to a lone car And as I rest my back against the cold stone of a crypt in a graveyard I’m watching you In the dimly lit, empty café, where I sip a cup of loneliness And as I dance in the smoky, sweating aliveness of the nightclubs And as I stare at the waves on the deserted, moonlit boardwalk I’m watching you Seated atop the Sphinx of Giza in the freezing Egyptian night And in the very back row of an empty baseball stadium And in a prison cell, where a death row inmate sleeps fitfully I'm watching you Right behind you, but you don't know I'm there I'm watching you Always watching In the night
