There's a little periscope called my mind, by this I mean
Only sees what it wants to see and what it wants to believe
There's a little periscope called my mind, by this I mean
World don't be mean to me, it's not what your meant to be

Cover me up in your blanket, but not for warmth
Spent my time chasing wires, o forever and more

Pitter and patter, flitter and flatter, goes the sound of the rain
From my window to yours forever and more
A sight I'd die to live and see
Doesn't quite fit into place
And in a second I'm there I see

Cover me up in your blanket, but not for warmth
Spent my time chasing wires, o forever and more

-Ohhhhhh-Ahhhhhhhhh-OoooooooooooOooohhh-

Cover me up in your blanket, but not for warmth
Spent my time chasing wires, o forever and more

If there's a little periscope called my mind, by this I mean
If there's a little periscope called my mind
Won't let it set it's periscope eye on it
As you're getting your news from the mail daily
And I'm getting mine from the canary
I guess there's a world in which we could be
A little more independent
With a (The) Guardian weaving through the columns
O' column after column
