They Might Be Giants — I Palindrome I lyrics

Lyrics

Someday mother will die and I’ll get the money
Mom leans down and says, «my sentiments exactly,
You son of a bitch»
I palindrome I And I am a snake head eating
The head on the opposite side
I palindrome I See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
See the medical chart with the random zig-zag
Now I’ll help it decide
I palindrome I
«Son I am able,» she said «though you scare me.»
«Watch,» said I
«beloved,» I said «watch me scare you though.» said she,
«able am I, Son.»
See the spring of the grandfather clock unwinding
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
See the hands of my offspring making windmills
(Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age)
Dad palindrome Dad
I palindrome I
