Eye In The Sky
Woolfson/Parsons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving
(chorus)
Woolfson/Parsons's song Eye In The Sky is a song about a person who knows everything about you. The lyrics are divided into two parts. The first part of the song is warning someone not to mess with the person who is the "eye in the sky" by doing something that they will regret later. The person who is the "eye in the sky" has seen the accused person taking lots of chances before and knows what they are thinking. S/he is no more ready to give in to their antics. In the second part of the song, the "eye in the sky" is warning the accused person not to have false illusions about the situation and not to cry or beg because things are not going to change. The person is then advised to find another fool to deceive because the "eye in the sky" is no longer going to believe any of their lies or trust their fake signs.
Overall the song is a warning and a statement that the "eye in the sky" is always watching and can read the person's mind. It is a reflection of the human tendency to be deceptive and manipulative and the need for someone or something to watch over and regulate such tendencies.

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky (1982) Lyrics: July 17, 2021
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try, turnin' tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore
Believing
Some of the lies
When all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind...
