Lyrics

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)

Master of all she surveys
Lives a life unencumbered by me
