only one german detective can solve this mystery.
at the end of many, many, many performances of “so lonely” during the first two tours, sting sang a particular line over the last three crashing chords of “so lonely”.
my studies have given me this:
“WASS-OO-YOU, WASS-OO-MAH-YEAH!”
perhaps he’s singing “watching you washing my hair!” but I’m sure that isn’t it.
la policia is finally working on this song and dan really wants to know what the hell those words are.
dietmar – any ideas..?

it's the ending of a Lebanese prayer
actually I don't have a clue what it is, but I remember that I have discussed it with several fans
just yesterday I thought of finally asking Stewart what it could be
and I probably will
or he reads this...

HAHAHA!
You know, I've always wondered about this, but never took the time to ask. I always figured I was just mishearing something in English. I'm eager to know the truth!

Sting sings this as a related lyric: "What's to do runs through my head"

"what's to do runs through my head" doesn't make lyrical or grammatical sense - it's incorrect I'm afraid.
Have a close listen to sjr's sample:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/bibp7l"watchin' you walk through my head" actually fits his consonant and vowel placement...
My money's on that
