lyrics

Oh, I See [Live at CBGB]


Oh I see, oh, oh, oh I see, you want me to go down that hill, right? You look like a nurse but I know you’re a soldier! American soldier! “Hey, American soldier!” Whaddya got, a war wound? A direct result of nothing as far as I’m concerned. I’m standin’ out on this porch. You know he’s down there. He’s got a gun. Nothin’ to worry about I guess, but I’m not goin’ down there. Not me. Other guys go down but you know my head is a radio. I hear these kinds of things. I don’t hear ‘em, other people hear ‘em, I guess.

Walker’s down there. He’s… uh… sittin’ in that chair. I didn’t do nothin’ with his wife. She looked kiinda funny in those stockings though — must admit, must admit! Saw it in a headline or something. Well, Chase Manhattan Bank, you know, you go everywhere with these people, they don’t know what to tell ya. They say, “It’s not me, it’s them!” I say, it’s kind of a result of… nothing, or something like that.

Oh oh oh, no, no! Not going down there! Nah, nah! Wait, wait! Wait, something hurts! Oh, oh! Oh I see, oh I see! You want me to go down the hill, oh I see! You buggin’ out? You buggin’ out? You buggin’ out? You buggin’ out?

Oh I see you want me to, nah, not like that, it’s somethin’ I read in the papers. I saw it in a cinema, backing out, he’s got a gun! I’m not goin’ down there, I got this thing, you don’t wanna see it! Hey, hey you look like a, like some kind of bicycle messenger…

I I I oh oh I see you want me to go down the hill huh? I see! You want me — forget it! I ain’t goin’ down there, oh I see. Get in there. Walker’s wife, black stockings. I’m not Rockefeller, you know. Andrew Carnegie, what’s that, withdrawal, 500 miles. Oh I see, dispose of it huh? Bughead! BUGHEAD! My hands are kind of stumps. Ha! Blood type zero! Hit the road Jack! Hit the road Jack. Come on, get a move on! Ah come on. I been to the bank.
