Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see you, but you don't see me
I watch you when you're eating fried food in front of famous buildings
I know a lot of things about you
And sometimes I am Pharaoh
And sometimes I am Chaplin
Sometimes I'm made of stone
But always, I am watching
[Verse 2]
You walk into the cathedral
Hoping that you will feel something
But all you feel is empty
So you think that you are hungry
That's why you're always eating fried food in front of famous buildings
And always I am watching
Although you never see me
[Verse 3]
And sometimes I am Pharaoh
And sometimes I am Chaplin
Sometimes I'm made of stone
But always I am watching
[Verse 4]
I sat next to a woman who asked if God was like a camera
That automatically took a picture if you sinned or were a sinner
She took a photo of the altar although she knew it was forbidden
Now she was frightened of damnation
I said "Why don't you repent then?"
And then she started crying
I was standing very still in front of famous buildings
The crowds began to gather
The clouds began to gather
Not moving one muscle
I stand still for hours
And then when you least expect it
Suddenly I jump
[Verse 5]
I'll make you jump
I'll make you jump
I'll make you jump
[Verse 6]
Underneath the arches
Down by the river
At the centre of the world
Throwing food into an abyss
[Verse 7]
Sometimes I am Pharaoh
Sometimes I am Chaplin
Sometimes I'm made of stone
But always, I am watching
[Verse 8]
I'll make you jump
I'll make you jump
I'll make you jump
I'll make you jump
I'll make you jump
