Voyeur Lyrics by Chris Knox

Seizure

1989

[Spoken word]
'Voyeur, voyeur, take, voyeur, take three'
[Verse 1]
A body falls at the feet of and old brown man
A boy screams at the sight of his severed hand
A woman tried to tell us that she really don't understand (doo doo doo)
[Verse 2]
A crowd forms in the street and obscures the sun
As a business woman tries to eat her lunch on the run
And a young girl takes her Muppet baby out with a gun (woo)
[Verse 3]
On the street where you live there's a rancid smell
Of the excrement of households on the edge of hell
You don't know what goes on behind the windows of that old hotel (hmmmmm)
[Chorus 1]
But you know you want see (yeeeah)
All this pain and misery (yeah!)
[Verse 4]
The crushed woman with the tongue that won't stay in her head
The old man who chats away to a loaf of bread
The three sisters who would be happy if their daddy just fell down dead (dead, dead, dead, dead)
[Verse 5]
A crowd down street obscures the sight
Of a body that descended from it's graceful flight
Out of the hotel window on the 4th floor, third from the right
[Chorus 2]
And you know you want to be (yeah)
A part of what you see (part of what you see)
[Verse 6]
The business woman's lunch is expelled with a heave
And she wipes her bitter mouth with her designer sleeve
And sits down in the gutter that knows she'll never leave
[Verse 7]
The boy tries to attach his hand back on to his arm
The girl inspects her Muppet baby with unnatural calm
And the old brown man shows no visible sign of alarm
[Chorus 3]
They've all seen it all before (yeah)
So go in a close the door (yeah)
Yeah!
They've all seen it all before (yeah)
So go in and close the door...
