I Palindrome I

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.

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)
