"Somebody's Watching Me" is a song by American singer Rockwell, released in 1984 as the lead single from his debut album of the same name. In 2022, the song was featured as a remix of the original by Urban Renewal Project in the Disney+ film Hocus Pocus 2, a sequel to the 1993 cult classic Hocus Pocus. The song plays during a scene where the Sanderson Sisters are resurrected by two teenage girls who light the Black Flame Candle in a magic shop. The song serves as a humorous contrast to the sisters' confusion and fascination with the modern world. The song also appears on the film's official soundtrack album.
Lyrics[]
I'm just an average man, with an average life
I work from nine to five; hey hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone
I always feel like somebody's watching me, oh
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy
When I come home at night I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
Well, can the people really see me or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower I'm afraid to wash my hair
'Cause when I open my eyes I might find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of "Psycho" too much
That's why
I always feel like somebody's watching me, oh
I always feel like somebody's watching me
There ain't no privacy, woh
It's close to midnight
Something evil lurking in the dark, woh
Somebody's watching me
Somebody's watching me
Darkness across, across the land
Are the neighbors watching me?
Well, is the mailman watching me?
And I don't feel safe anymore, oh, what a mess
I wonder who's watching me now (who?), is it the IRS? Woh
I always feel like somebody's watching me, h-e-e-e
I always feel like somebody's watching me, h-e-e-e
You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
I always feel like somebody's watching me, h-e-e-e
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me, h-e-e-e
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me, watching me woh
