GAnd I see, And I Emsee, And I Dsee, And I Csee
And I Gsee
[Verse 1]
The Ghold-out bCoy and the weGather girl,
knCow the wind mEmoves in a paCtient way
Like a two-decade dGay
The mGan in the mEmouth of a dDrain
LaCughing and cEmhewing erCasers
Like a black dog iGn the snow
WEmrite in reGlief and sEmleep again
and you cGant believe your eCyes
and you cEmant find your pen
and the Gman in the hole
is your Emnew friend's friend
[Chorus]
GAnd I see, And I Emsee, And I Dsee, And I Csee,
And I Gsee
[Verse 2]
SGymmetrical foot in your mouth
and your high speed legs
Your Cknee-jerks a Emmark of distCinction
It's an elevator put-oGn
GCount your dollar, only Emone
and count it again
Cone one one
You can't count it when your Emdead, no
You keep a pGure nose
WGrite in reEmlief and sleep again
and you geGt in the hole,
with your nCew friend's friend
and he caGnt believe his eyes
and he cEman't find his pen
[Outro]
And the mGeteorological man
With a wEmhirl-wind girl
And a mDote in the sun
And a sCquid in a bag
And a rGaccoon hat
And a tEmalking plant
And a cDareful goat
In a seCwer system shaft
And I Gsee, And I sEmee, And I sDee, And I sCee x2
And I sGee

And I see, And I see, And I see, And I see

And I see

[Verse 1]

G C G

The hold-out boy and the weather girl,

C Em C

know the wind moves in a patient way

Like a two-decade day

G Em D

The man in the mouth of a drain

C Em C

Laughing and chewing erasers

Like a black dog in the snow

Em G Em

Write in relief and sleep again

G C

and you cant believe your eyes

and you cant find your pen

and the man in the hole

is your new friend's friend

[Chorus]

G Em D C

And I see, And I see, And I see, And I see,

And I see

Symmetrical foot in your mouth

and your high speed legs

C Em C

Your knee-jerks a mark of distinction

It's an elevator put-on

G Em

Count your dollar, only one

and count it again

one one one

You can't count it when your dead, no

You keep a pure nose

G Em

Write in relief and sleep again

and you get in the hole,

with your new friend's friend

and he cant believe his eyes

and he can't find his pen

[Outro]

And the meteorological man

With a whirl-wind girl

And a mote in the sun

And a squid in a bag

And a raccoon hat

And a talking plant

And a careful goat

In a sewer system shaft

G Em D C

And I see, And I see, And I see, And I see x2
