SINGER: They Might Be Giants

SONG:I Palindrome I

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 (i palindrome i)
i palindrome i (i palindrome i)
and i am a snake head eating (snake head)
the head on the opposite side (snake head)
i palindrome i (manonam)
i palindrome i (manonam)
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 (i palindrome i)
i palindrome i (i palindrome i)
and i am a snake head eating (snake head)
the head on the opposite side (snake head)
i palindrome i (manonam)
i palindrome i (manonam)
i palindrome i (manonam)
i palindrome i (manonam)
"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 (i palindrome i)
i palindrome i (i palindrome i)
and i am a snake head eating (snake head)
the head on the opposite side (snake head)
i palindrome i (manonam)
i palindrome i (manonam)
i palindrome i (manonam)
i palindrome i (manonam)
