I am the lion at the checkout
who purrs at all your treasure trove
I am the lion that devours all you buy
your hidden love of hidden clothes

I am the bear that taped your phone calls
Even when your mother died
I am the bear who when the light shines in your eyes
Even knows your alibis

but I've kept your memory safe
It could so easily have been erased
I've got my Lithium Ion Eye On You
I've got my Lithium Ion Eye On You

I am the tiger in your laptop
That guards your window to the world
I am the tiger with a travelog of code
that maps out everything you've learned

Guess you thought you were pretty clever
Clearing out your cache and all
Guess you thought you were smart enough to stay ahead
Well I know more than heaven knows

but I'll keep your memory safe
It could so easily have been erased
I've got my Lithium Ion Eye On You
I've got my Lithium Ion Eye on Ion Eye on you

You'll be amazed what I've learnt from the maze of emotions you've posted and all that you've boasted
I'm piecing this mystery out of your history - outboxes, trash folders, hard disks are dirt holders

I've seen you for who you really are... and you're not so innocent - you're not so innocent at all
I've seen you for who you really are... my 100 zeroes know your every trait

But I'll keep your memory safe
Nothing will ever (have to) be erased
I've got my Lithium Ion Eye On You
I've got my Lithium Ion
Eye on Ion Eye on Ion Eye on you
