Mumbles, Aceyalone - The Walls and the Windows lyrics

The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies


No lies, no lies, no lies
And a dead man tells no lies

If these walls could talk
They would tell you things
You wouldn't believe
These windows have seen sights
You couldn't imagine
And it can't be erased by Windex
Or a coat of paint


Surprise! For each and every wall that ever
Stood it has a story some are not so obvious
And some are self-explantory
It's padded walls in my laboratory
They're lookin through the keyhole
Of you dormitory up in my observatory
My telescope sees the glory
But it also sees the horror and
The gory they speak derogatory
These walls in this hotel room
Tell more tales about fat tails and head
It was heard but never said
Instead the walls bleed, yeah
While they bleeding
You could hear the couples cheating
Undercover meetings
Behind these seedy motel walls best
Believe they heard it all
Wrecking balls don't bounce against the wall
To make that building fall
The walls outside my apartment complex
Building projects are so complex
Yet they are taken all out of text
Like the wall of Berlin, the wall of 'Nam
The wall of China
And my tag on the wall as a reminder

Now of course the eyes are the
True windows to the soul
As well as the window to the world's soul
Whether plain glass or stained glass
Every set of eyes has a set of
Windows with a set of eyes

Now tell me what the world would be
If we did not have windows
(We did not have windows)
You would hardly ever catch the criminal
Or see the swindle
Everyone inside would need A
C, when they assemble
A private penitentiary at home
Is what it might resemble
See, my window pane got so much pain
The glass is busting out the frame
So let the candle kindle in the window
As a symbol i be leavin' my window open
Hoping that I might get a breeze
But when the wind comes in the eyes
Come in and eyes don't seem to want to leave
Because spying eyes by eyeing the prize
And eyeing on your movement
You can change your wall and windows
With some building home improvement
But looky looos they still be trying
To look inside your window
The walls will hear it ever single time
Your voice crescendos
It's enough to make you tremble
Leave you in limbo can it also be simple?
Because these are fundamentals
For the mental, so don't get sentimental
Because these are not your windows
These wall are really rentals
They know everything you into
And all the business that you tend to
So keep your windows rolled up
And don't hold up the wall against the floor
And while you're window shopping
Don't bother stopping at my store
I put a note in the window
But you couldn't read what is said
Instead I took a rock and carved it
In the glass and it read:
