You Never Know

Yesterday morning upon my waking
Inside my pocket, I found a calling card
It said in cursive "Meta-detective"
And had a number I didn't recognize
It rang all morning and in the evening
I heard an answer, it sounded like a sigh
It was a woman on the receiver
She was a breather
I said I'd see her because you never know
I'll let you, I'll let you
Be my eyes
If we fly, if we fly
I'll let you, I'll let you
Be my eyes
Cuz I'm blind, cuz I'm blind
She said she'd meet me
Under the marquee
Of a theater
That was abandoned
She ran up to me
And leaned in closely
Whispering softly
She told me how I would die
She spoke in cipher and coy conundrums
Her hair was lightning and it smelled like thunder
Ending our rendezvous, she said "Rappelea-vous?"
And with a pirouette, she disappeared and I said
"You never know"
I'll let you, I'll let you be my eyes if we fly, if we fly
I'll let you, I'll let you be my eyes because I'm blind, cuz I'm blind
And the rain flies into our mouths
While our heads fly into the clouds
I'll let you, I'll let you
Be my eyes
If we fly, if we fly
I'll let you, I'll let you
Be my eyes
Cuz I'm blind, cuz I'm blind
I'll let you, I'll let you be my eyes
If we fly, yes, we fly
I'll let you, I'll let you be
My eyes because I'm blind, cuz I'm blind
