Letterbox Lyrics

Artist: They Might Be Giants
Album: Flood

I'll never know what you'll find when you open up your letter box tomorrow
'Cause a little bird never tells me anything I want to know, she's my best friend, she's a sparrow
And I'll never never know what you never never never want to know when you know what you are, O.

If I had a pair of eyes on the back of my head for each time
You forgot to take out all the things you forgot to talk about when you took a bite out of my spine,
I would have a lot of eyes on me by this time wouldn't I? Wouldn't that just be fine.

Too late or soon to make noise about* love and there's no time for sorrow
Run around in the rain with a hole in the brain till tomorrow

I'll never know what you'll find when you open up your letter box tomorrow
'Cause a little bird never tells me anything I want to know, she's my best friend, she's a sparrow
And I'll never never know what you never never never want to know when you know what you are, O.

"I would have a lot of eyes on *the other side* wouldn't I, wouldn't I just be fine?!"

Dammit, I know I'm right!

Dammit, I know I'm right!"
I think you are right about "the other side" but these are right about the end of that line being "wouldn't that just be fine?"

"I would have a lot of eyes on the other side, wouldn't I, wouldn't that just be fine."

And the rest are all perfect!
