Lyrics for 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)
