have you ever

5'11", 225
He's got that look in his eye
Looks like, I'm going to die
He only wears black suits
It kinda scares me sometimes
We're starting to think that
He works for the FBI
He's really getting a call
From the government
He's gonna take out us all
Maybe his ties
Are just another pair of eyes
Maybe his smiles
Another disguise
I think he's after me
Soon we will see
What's behind this mystery
Am I dead right or just paranoid?
One day I saw him
Checking over my shoulder
As I moved in
His look grew colder
His figure scared me
I turned and I ran
And all I heard was "Vote for Bush!"
Vote for Bush
I think he's after me
Soon we will see
What's behind this mystery
Am I dead right or just paranoid?
And as I look ahead
There's nothing but death
There's nowhere to flea
Just a victim of my Noble Steve
I think he's after me
The song "Have You Ever" by Andy & Joey tells the story of a man who is getting increasingly paranoid about the intentions of a mysterious figure in his life. The lyrics describe this person's intimidating appearance, which includes wearing black suits and giving a look that makes the singer fear for his life. The song suggests that this person may be working for some government agency and may have an ulterior motive for approaching the singer.
The singer also imagines that the person may be communicating with government officials via secret signals, such as scratching his ear. He begins to see the man's ties as another pair of eyes, which implies that he thinks the person has ulterior motives for his involvement in the singer's life. By the end of the song, the singer believes that the person is after him and is worried that he will become a victim of that person's mysterious intentions.
Overall, this song explores the feeling of paranoia that can arise when someone feels like they are being watched or followed. It is an intriguing commentary on how fear can distort our perceptions of reality and convince us that there is a sinister motive behind seemingly innocuous actions.
