Lyrics

Evil Eye (Live)

Ooh, what's the colour of the next car?

(It's red, you bastard) Yeah, red, you bastard

Don't believe in God, but I believe in this shit

Not me, I like to bring them down

Not me, some fool who dum-dum-do

(Dum-dum-do) Not, not, not me

Some people get a freak out of me

Some people can't see what I can see

Some people want to see what I see

Some people put an evil eye on me

Ooh

Ooh, I have the evil eye

I, I, I see your soul

You wear it on your face

It's worn in what you do

Ooh, what's the colour of the next car?

(Yeah, it's red, you bastard) Yeah, red, you bastard

Don't believe in God, but I believe in this shit

(Not me) Not me, I like to bring them down

(Not me) Not me, some fool who dum-dum

(Dum-dum-do) Not, not, not me

Some people get a freak out of me

Some people can't see what I can see

Some people want to see what I see

Some people put an evil eye on me

It looks so clean but I can see

The crawling, crawling creatures

Suspended in solution

No, no, there's no solution

Some people get a freak out of me

Some people can't see what I can see

Some people want to see what I see

Some people put an evil eye on me

Some people want to see what I see

Some people put an evil eye on me

Some people want to see what I see

Some people put an evil eye on me
