Текст песни The Telescope - The Residents

Excuse me mister, I need to buy a telescope
No not a very strong one, I'll mainly just be looking at the moon, I can't afford to spend very much
Don't I know you? You look really familiar to me, haven't I met you somwhere before a long time ago?
No, are you sure? Yeah, okay
Let me see that one
It's beautiful, wow, I love the way it folds up so small, it even fits in my pocket and It feels so nice in my hand
I guess it must be really expensive
What are you kidding me? It can't be that cheap, Uh, I mean, it's really inexpensive for such quality
Okay, yeah, I'll take it, thanks mister, thanks
Listen, I'm sorry that I got so upset a minute ago, it just that you remind me of someone
Thanks again mister, goodbye

This thing is really cool, I can see everything, it's like magic
I can't wait to get home and look out the window

Come to the window, look through the glass
Come to the window, tell me what you see

I see a hand caressing a cat in the dark
It sits in the shadows
It touches my heart
It's beautiful

Leaving land again, he sucked himself into a hole
Sold himself a polar bear and turned it into gold
But it never suited him and soon became so cold
He found the ground around him had become a grassy knoll
