I’ve Been Seeing Things Songtext
von They Might Be Giants

I′ve been seeing things
I've been seeing things
Don′t have answers but
I've got lots of questions

Carpool's up, someone gets out
Hand someone else a violin case
I′m trying not to let them see me looking at them
But I′m pretty sure there was a dollar sign

Keep your eyes peeled and you'll see stuff
Which at first seems like unimportant irrelevant things

Can′t just ask some perfect stranger
"What are you hiding in your violin case?"
Shadow them at a distance instead
Try to get inside their head


Where'd they go now (Where′d they go now)
I got distracted (I got distracted)
Begging me to stay (Begging me to stay)
Wearing a disguise (Wearing a disguise)
That lady (That lady)
Must have ditched the kid (Must have ditched the kid)
Hidge the down (Hidge the down) [???]
What's she up to now? (What′s she up to now?)
Trembling cold by the airport road
Watching them stack containers in rows
Seagulls, helicopter, windblown trash
Something doesn't add up

I've been seeing things
I′ve been seeing things
No one asks but
I′m packing all kinds of attention

Later I'm watching a news report
Camera pans across a crime scene
Unremarked upon detail
Empty violin case
Okay maybe not the same case
Different material, different color
Still you have to wonder
Am I the only one who knows

I′ve been seeing things
I've been seeing things
I′ve been seeing things
I've been seeing things

(Ahhhh...)
