If You Can See Me Lyrics - The Next Day - David Bowie

If you can see me I can see you 

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 

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 

Now you could say I've got a gift of sorts 

A fear of rear windows and swinging doors 

A love of violence and dread of sighs 

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

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
