(originally by Judas Priest)
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
Is nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected
Protected. Detective. Electric eye
Electric Eye was written by Rob Halford & Glenn Tipton.
Lissie released Electric Eye on Tue Mar 11 2014.
I chose “Electric Eye” because a friend suggested I check it out after a conversation we’d had about the Internet and privacy. It was ahead of its time!
