If You Can See Me by David Bowie (original lyrics)

I could wear your new blue shoes
I should wear your old red dress
And walk to the crossroads / So take this knife
And meet me across the river

Just shoots and ladders and this is the kiss
American anna fantasticalsation / From nowhere to nothing
And I go way back / Children swarm like thousands of bugs
Towards the lights the beacons above the hill
The stars to the West, the South, the North/And to the East

Now you could say I’ve got a gift of sorts
A fear of rear windows and swinging doors
A love of violence a dread of sighs
If you can see me I can see you(2X)

I have seen these bairns wave their fists at God
Swear to destroy the beasts stamping the ground
In their excitement for tomorrow

I could wear your new........And meet me across the river

I will take your lands and all that lays beneath
The dust of cold flowers prison of dark of ashes
I will slaughter your kind who descend from belief
I am the spirit of greed a lord of theft
I’ll burn all your books and the problems they make
If you can see me I can see you / If you can see me
