If You Can See Me

If you can see me I can see you



I could wear your new blue shoes

I should wear your old red dress

And walk to the crossroad, so take this knife

And meet me across the river



Just chutes and ladders

And this is the kiss

America ana-them testicle-sation

From nowhere to nothing

And neither way back



Children swarm like thousands of bugs

Towards the light

The beacons above the hill

The stars to the West, the South, the North

And to the East



Now you can say I've got a gift of sorts

A fear of rear windows and swinging doors

My love of violence and tenants' sighs

If you can see me I can see you

If you can see me I can see you



I can see ?? raise their fists at God

Swear to destroy the beast, stamping the ground

In their excitement for tomorrow



I could wear your new blue shoes

I should wear your old red dress

And walk to the crossroad, so take this knife

And meet me across the river



I will take your lands and all that lays beneath

The dust of cold flowers, drizzle of dark ashes

I will slaughter your kind, descend from belief

I am the spirit of greed, of gold, of theft

Burn all your books and the problems they make

If you can see me I can see you

If you can see me
