From your singular secret eye   watch the neighbourhood passin by   Stay by your TV and telephone   Stay in this fortress that you call home   Now you are constantly on your guard   but it's tough as they're getting   smarter and faster, spreading like rabbits   across the land.      Was a time when the sky was blue   and the traffic was nice and slow   Now, we've got tolls to communicate   We fly out in minutes to any state   Still I see sadness in your eyes   and thru the walls I can hear your sighs   and it's getting harder as you're getting   older and that's no lie.      Was a time when your head was stronger   You were brilliant but that's no longer true   Now your memory is growing weaker   You have long since passed your peak   No more Ace to play, in a fading day   You are still alive, nothing less - no more   and the years go by, thru the walls I can hear your sighs.
