ฟังเพลงThe World Is Showing Its Hand (Album Version)

The World Is Showing Its Hand - Jonathan Richman

Well

Well when I first smelled the bus fumes

From the diesel motor

Well my two year old mind could only applaud

Such odor

The world is showing me its tricks

The world was showing its hand

Then an alley somewhere

Smelling of grease and piss

I was delighted that the world would want to

Smell like this

The world is showing me its tricks

The world was showing its hand

Well the pond and the odor

The swamp and the sweat

Each smell is telling me a secret

So give me an alley

Give me a valley

Give me a neopolitan night

Let me smell more of the world

And gain more insight

The world is showing me its tricks

The world is showing its hand

Yeah

So give me a mowed lawn

Give me an ozone

Give me summer rain

Let me smell more of the world

That I might learn something

The world was showing me its tricks

The world is showing its hand
