The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can watch me--
you can watch me in my bed.
You can watch me--
you can watch me my bed.
Ah, but you will never know,
what goes around in my head.
You can watch me--
You can watch me in my sleep.
You can watch me--
you can watch me in my sleep.
Ah, but you will never know,
what I have got down deep.
You can watch me,
when I'm naked as a jay.
You can watch me,
when I'm naked as a jay.
Ah, but you will never know,
what I will never say.
You can watch me,
when I'm laid out cold and dead.
You can watch me,
when I'm laid out cold and dead.
You say, "I wonder,
what went 'round in that fellow's head".
