The Evil Eye

People say there's no such thing as voodoo

I don't know why

People say there's no such thing as love

I got a job in S.E. 15



And after tax my wage is 16

July, the 17th, I'll be 18

I don't think I'll live till 19

People say I'm looking so much older than what I am



People laugh at me when I say why

I'm being watched by the evil eye

Working for a man who wears

A straw hat and never smiles



And an apron striped and splashed with blood

I stack a pig's head on the shelf

The boss comes along and says move yourself

I can't move, I'm hypnotized



Staring into a dead pig's eyes

I turn around and all I see is ladies

With shopping bags

Staring at me trying to read my mind



And I'm being watched by the evil eye

And I'm being watched by the evil eye



Walking home on my own

Standing on the bus stop

Crossing the road

I'm being followed 'cause I can feel



Someone's breath on my neck

Someone's toe on my heel

Gotta keep on walking

I can't stop now, I've come too far



Wait till I get home and lock the door

I got the candles burning low

I got the Cramps on the stereo

I got the doll now I can start



With a pin right through the heart

I got dolls with straw hats

I got ladies with shopping bags

They'll be sorry, they crossed me tonight



Now they're being watched by the evil eye

Being watched by the evil eye
