Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someday Mother will die and I'll get the money
Mom leans down and says "My sentiments exactly
You son of a bitch"
[Verse 2]
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 (Man o Nam)
I palindrome I (Man o Nam)
[Verse 3]
See that bulletproof dress hanging from the clothesline
See the medical chart with the random zig-zag
Now I'll help it decide
[Verse 4]
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 (Man o Nam)
I palindrome I (Man o Nam)
I palindrome I (Man o Nam)
I palindrome I (Man o Nam)
[Verse 5]
"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"
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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 (Man o Nam)
I palindrome I (Man o Nam)
I palindrome I (Man o Nam)
I palindrome I (Man o Nam)
