C# If you can see me I can see you E I could wear your new blue shoes I should wear your old red dress And walk to the crossroads So take this knife Fm And meet me across the river E Just chutes and ladders and this is the kiss American Anna, fantastic Alsatian 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 Chorus: F# G# Now you could say I've got a gift of sorts A#m G# A fear of rear windows and swinging doors A#m C A love of violence and dread of sighs C# If you can see me I can see you If you can see me I can see you 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 blue shoes I should wear your old red dress And walk to the crossroads So take this knife And meet me across the river Chorus: 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.
