Aceyalone - The Walls And The Windows Lyrics
ChorusThe walls have ears, the windows have eyesAnd a wise man tells no liesThe walls have ears, the windows have eyesAnd a dead man tells no liesRepeatNo lies, no lies, no liesAnd a dead man tells no liesIf these walls could talkThey would tell you things you wouldn't believeThese windows have seen sights you couldn't imagineAnd it can't be erased by windex or a coat of paintChorusSurprise!!!For each and every wall that ever stood it has a storySome are not so obvious and some are self-explantoryIt's padded wall in my laboratoryThey're lookin through the keyhole of you dormitoryMeanwhile, up in my observatory, my telescope sees the gloryAnd it also sees the horror and the gory they speak derogatoryThese walls in this hotel roomTell more tales about fat tales and headIt was heard but never said, instead the walls bleedYeah, while they bleedingYou could hear the couples cheating, undercover meetingsBehind these seedy motel walls best believe they had it allWreaking balls don't bounce against the wallTo make that building fallThe walls outside my apartment complexBuilding projects are so complexYet they are taken all out of textLike the wall of berlin, the wall of 'nam, the wall of chinaAnd my tag on the wall as a reminderChorusNow of course the eyes are the true windows to the soulAs well as the window to the world's soulWhether plain glass or stained glassEvery set of eyes has a set of windows with a set of eyesNow tell me what the world would beIf we did not have windows (we did not have windows)You would hardly ever catch the criminal or see the swindleEveryone inside would need a/c when they assembleA private penitentiary at home is what it might resembleSee my window-pane got so much painThe glass is busting out the frameSo let the candle kindle in the window as a symbolI be leavin' my window open hoping that i might get a breezeBut when the wind comes in the eyesCome in and eyes don't seem to want to leaveBecause spying eyes by eyeing the prizeAnd eyeing on your movementYou can change your wall and windowsWith some building home improvementBut looky looos they still be tryingYou look inside your windowThe walls will hear it ever single time you voice crescendosIt's enough to make you tremble, leave you in limboCan it also be simple?Because these are fundamentalsFor the mental so don't get sentimentalBecause these are not your windowsThese wall are really rentalsThey know everything your intoAnd all the business that you tend toSo keep your windows rolled upAnd don't hold up the wall against the floorAnd while you're window shoppingDon't bother stopping at my storeI put a note in the window, but you couldn't read what is saidSo i took a rock and carved it in the glass and it read:ChorusRepeat
