lyrics:

everybody loves a robot
program yourself to be
what we really need you to be

close your eyes
you don't need them anymore
shut off your brain
it ceases to belong to you

everybody wants a robot
glistening like the sun
to be the perfect companion

close your eyes
you don't need them anymore
dry out your tears now
no more emotion...

Another b-movie themed tale branded painfully onto a wonderful instrumental from the one-shot 1963 Barclay single, “Cyclone,” by the Swiss combo Les Sorciers. 

The storyline is self-explanatory, though the idea of a floating telepathic eyeball was surely inspired by the ghostly floating alien creature from the magnificent “It Came From Outer Space.”

Hypnotic Eye
+++++++++++++++++++++

One cold and lonely night
Feeling something not quite right
Harry woke up for a closeup of a terrifying sight
In the middle of the room
Harry couldn’t take his eyes off …

........A swirling twirling crazy throbbing thing
........Hypnotic eye
	
Now Harry’s paralyzed
Brain patterns analyzed
The creature’s mental feature is there to terrorize
In the middle of the night
Harry couldn’t shake his mind off ...

........That swirling twirling crazy throbbing thing
........Hypnotic eye
........Hypnotic eye

All through the night Harry stands there 
And his mind is gone … before the dawn
The creature comes in like a twin 
Underneath Harry’s skin … the evil within

The creature takes a stroll
Harry’s well under control
The eyeball wants a highball in a club for rock’n’roll
But it’s the middle of the morn
All the dives have shut their doors ...

........This fact it really pisses off the 
........Hypnotic eye
........Hypnotic eye

Why did it bother possess such a 
Lowly specimen … bad medicine
The creature surrenders his bender is 
nothing but a dream … then Harry screams

Now Harry’s back at home
He is shaking to the bone
He’s on the brink he needs a drink his mind is truly blown
In the middle of the night
Harry wakes up in a fright for

........The swirling twirling crazy throbbing thing
........Hypnotic eye
........Hypnotic eye
........Hypnotic eye
........Hypnotic eye
........Hypnotic eye
