See Me Peter - The Checks

There is a nail in my bedroom floor

That I ve never even seen before

I guess these days we don t look down

As if there s something wrong

With keeping a lion warm

And letting it sleep in your head

And there s vanilla in the air

And I think I put it there

But I see these stripes they don t breathe in

And I know my age is small

But the stripes I move are tall

I see their dark glasses on their head

Oh see me Peter

Before you call my name

I see the sign up there

No smoking in the air

These devils move with icy claw

And I see these bricks of red

Move through his head

They come out as books of ideals

Oh see me Peter

Before you call my name

Oh see me Peter

Before you call my name

Saint Peter before you call my name
