Napoli Fine Books and Antiquities reads the weathered, careworn sign above the door. The window is stuffed with things just old enough to be junk and not rare enough to interest true collectors. A fifty year old tricycle, board games, a glass and decanter made from orange glass (one glass missing and a crack in the decanter's stopper), a set of dentures from the turn of the century that were missing three molars, and a beat up world war two flight jacket were among the items. A small sign was stuck in the corner of the big plate glass window that read 'anything found, inquire within'.

The door opens with a jangle of bells hung above it. It smells musty, like an elderly house's attic, and it looks no less cluttered than the window itself. If one happened to read Stephen King, they might flash on Leland Gaunt's store of curiosities, but of a less sinister bent.

The shopkeeper is in the back, the man behind the faded curtain. There's a bell on the counter--would you care to give it a ring?

If you're calling to speak to Mr. Napoli, he does answer his phone--just make sure it's important, or else he'll let you speak to the dial tone.
don't think sorry
is easily said
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 thinking

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
I can
read your mind

don't leave
false illusions
behind
don't cry cause
I ain't changing
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

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
