I got an eye on you (I got an eye on you man)
I got an eye on you (I got an eye on you man)
No matter what you do - no matter what you do
I got an eye on you

I I I I forty days and thirty winks
I can't even tell - what the hell that I think
Uh - left to watch with my roving eye.
I said you're making me feel like some kinda spy

I said these things - to you - you say that it's through
I said these things - to you - you say that it's through
I said these things - to you - you say that it's through
But baby! It hasn't even started

(I know you're not a rich man
I know that you're not blind
But why do you keep on watchin'...)
'Cuz Baby! (yeah?) Baby! (yeah?)
You're drivin' me outta my mind.

I got an eye on you.
I got an eye on you ( I got an eye on you man)
I got an eye on you (I got an eye on you man)
No matter what you do - no matter what you do
I got an eye on you

I I I I Forty sips and forty drinks
I look like a wreck and I know that I stink
I can't sleep but I'm in this dream
So baby don't slap me and make some scene.

I said these things - to you - you say that it's through
I said these things - to you - you say that it's through
I said these things - to you - you say that it's through
But baby! It hasn't even started

(I know you're not a rich man
I know that you're not blind
But why do you keep on watchin'...)
'Cuz Baby! (yeah?) Baby! (yeah?)
You're drivin' me outta my mind
I got an eye on you

(I know you're watchin' me
I know you're watchin' me
I know what you see
i know what you see
Don't try and disagree)...

I got an eye on you.
I got an eye on you ( I got an eye on you man)
I got an eye on you (I got an eye on you man)...

    I can't believe that like almost no one commented on this band. Rocket from the crypt came out around the same time as Nirvana, but were often overlooked and are def. one of the best bands to come out of the 90's. RFTC are a fucking great band and everyone should buy at least one of theie cds b/c every cd is amazing and you are guanteed to like all their songs!!!

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
