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 because I'm blind
Because 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 rendez-vous
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
Because I'm blind
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 because I'm blind
Because I'm blind
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
Because I'm blind
