Lyrics:
Hidden in the dashboard
The unseen mechanized eye
Under surveillance
The road is full of cats eyes
It's sick function to pry
The spy in the cab
Coldly observing- callously reserving
A drivers time
Automated autonomy
Playing on his mind
The spy in the cab
The spy in the cab
An eye for an eye
A spy for an eye
An eye for an eye
A spy for a spy
A twenty-four hour unblinking watch
Installed to pry
Installed to cop
The spy in the cab
The spy in the cab
The spy in the cab
I spy with my little eye spy with my little I spy with my
Little eye spy with my little I spy... spy... spy
Peter's voice here reminds me a bit of John Lydon in PiL :p.

It describes an anxious moment for a spy staked out in a taxi, surrounded by high tech gadgets, perhaps in the future ? A very creative yet tormented vision :)
See also Peter Murphy's 'Miniature Secret Camera' - the singer gone solo with a light-hearted version of this (???)
