(EAAB) Am G Am G / Am G / Am G Am G / Am G Am +2
I met
her in the bar of a fine hotel,
And I knew she was falling beneath my spell;
Then she
stirred her drink in the intimate dark
And the olive gave off sparks.
The walls
have ears and the ceiling has eyes
And the waiter was an agent in disguise;
How
can I tell you I love you, dear,
When I know the walls have ears?
I stroked her
fingers tenderly,
And I thought I saw my cheesecake blink at me;
Then just as it seemed I
was getting to her,
Her earring started to whirr.
The walls have ears and the
ceiling has eyes
And the wino was an agent in disguise;
How can I tell you I
love you, dear,
When I know the walls have ears?
We went outside just to talk a
little more,
And our table followed us out the door;
We strolled on the beach, while I
held her hand
Past a periscope in the sand.
The walls have ears and the ceiling
has eyes
And the seagull was an agent in disguise;
How can I tell you I love
you, dear,
When I know the walls have ears?
She said she was an actress in a
play;
She came to my room and she asked to stay;
But before I could get my necktie
off,
The bedroom mirror coughed.
The walls have ears and the ceiling has
eyes
And her agent was an agent in disguise;
How can I tell you I love you,
dear,
When I know the walls have ears?
Well, now we are married, and live all
alone
In a shack in the desert -- without a phone;
But sometimes it seems as I slip into
bed
I hear a funny humming in my head.
The walls have ears and the ceiling has
eyes
And I look out for the satellites in the skies;
And I never will know if
you love me, dear,
As long as the walls have ears!

"This song was inspired by the Watergate scandal. It's not that
there was
anything new about corruption in government, it was the
tacit acceptance of eavesdropping. The
only question was: Who
would get the tapes? This is a love song."
