You can feel the city breathe
Down among the weeds
That swallow up the buckle
The shoe, the set of keys
The weeds that push and pull me
And loosen memories
Of when I was a soldier
Or a beast beneath a tree
A beast beneath a tree
Can you see me? Can you see me?
Can you see me from here?
Can you see me? Can you see me?
Can you see me from here?
Time has broken like a watch
Whose hands are running wild
Caught in static find rewind
A thing I recognise
The hands that saw the trembling night
The bile that burns and boils inside
They lift me up with devil's pride
Then cast me down and crack me wide
Now I'm gone, I'm swallowed whole
I'm powdered, crushed, exhaled
I'm the picture on the mantle
I'm the ship that never sailed
I'm the jet above the valley
I'm the drifting vapour trail
I'm the crazy on the corner

Can you see me? Can you see me? (Beauty shop and nails)
Can you see me (beauty shop and nails) from here?
Can you see me? Can you see me?
Can you see me from here?
All the sweet faces I remember in the rain
All the sweet faces that searched for me in vain
I never saw their furrowed brows
I never felt their pain
But I know all those sweet faces
Will come to me again
I know all those sweet faces
Will come to me again
Can you see me? (Will come to me again)
Can you see me? (Will come to me again)
Can you see me (will come to me again) from here?
Can you see me? (Will come to me again)
Can you see me? (Will come to me again)
Can you see me (will come to me again) from here?
I'm the picture on the mantle
I'm the ship that never sailed
I'm the jet above the valley
I'm the drifting vapour trail
I'm the crazy on the corner
