Nobody's Looking Lyrics

You can look at the headlines

And like what you’ve read

You can look in the mirror at the hole in your head



You can glance at the humdrum

Moonland in tandem

Fire handguns at random



You can entice the lightning

Lure in the lies

You can look for Delilah with red-hot pokers in your

eyes

You can hunt down a witness

Beg for forgiveness

Plead that your heartbeat cease



You can do what you want to

Go ahead, won’t nobody call the police



You can wait for the hubub

Wait for disgrace

You can wait for the flood with an ark in your parking

place

You can wait to be grateful

Hate to be hateful

Fail to be faithful



You can pray for a victory

Or someone’s defeat

You can pray that the tanks never roll down your street

You can count all your blessings

Shout ‘til your ears ring

Doubt ‘til your clothes cling



You can pray if you want to

Go ahead, nobody’s looking but God



You can wink at the Pharaoh

Dance with the Queen

Be nice to the nice guys and mean to the mean in your

dreams

You can fence with a windmill

Surf in a seashell

Hide in a hotel



You can love one another

Or negotiate

You can love all the things that you manage to hate

You can tug on the heartstrings

Shrug ‘til the phone rings

Or love ‘til your heart stings



You can love if you want to

Go ahead, nobody’s looking but God
